Other than this negative feedback, no help was given in the form of visual prompting, verbal prompting, or any other proctor assistance. The training phase of both the VR and CAl building navigation task involved moving around in the respective environments, first under guided conditions and then under free exploration conditions. Each subject was first given three different guided tours of the building 578 representation. The three tours were identical across subjects. The tours were guided by way of textual and verbal commands given by the computer or the test administrator for the CAl and VR conditions, respectively .

At the end of the week, the students completed a questionnaire that assesses the extent to which they were immersed in the virtual environment (Singer & Witmer, 1994). As well each student was requested to supply written thoughts and comments about the simulator. All students were assessed at sea four weeks after the simulator training period. During the intervening time, they spent time in the classroom and aboard the training vessels learning other skills and adjusting to life aboard the Bay Class vessel.
