This symposium presents papers and panel discussions describing ongoing research and training approaches that leverage the capabilities of virtual reality, simulation technologies, and advanced computer-based games for training behavioral and cognitive skills. Results on experimental studies, training approaches and cases, and demonstrations will be included. The panel includes a military expert who will also provide insight on the challenges facing research and developers of game-based training.
