________ . ________ Training Agent Applications . A significant problem for training individuals and teams is the expense associated with the time and resources required (e.g., support personnel, team members, instructors). iGEN cognitive agents can be used in different ways to provide a better training environment. Synthetic Teammates iGEN can be used to build agents that synthetically represent team members during team training. These synthetic teammates are capable of standing in for their human counterparts to support individual or partial-team training on teamwork skills. Synthetic Instructors Synthetic instructors use domain and task knowledge to provide context-based observations and assessments of trainee behavior. They can be designed to provide assessments that may be diagnostic at either the behavioral level (e.g., trainee did not perform a required procedure) or at the cognitive level (e.g., trainee did not understand the required procedure). These assessments may be presented to the trainee during the training exercise and/or after the exercise (i.e., after action review).
