Sequence of Training Tasks and Perceived Learning: An Exploratory Investigation of the Experiential Training Unit

Abstract

One suggested experiential exercise training strategy suggests that an interpersonal skill is composed of a set of performance- related subskills which should be developed somewhat sequentially through an Experiential Training Unit (ETU) as opposed to a commonly used barrage of experiential exercises2 (4). An ETU is defined as a sequential series of related training activities involving at least one climax experiential exercise and aimed at developing interpersonal skill through appropriate subskill development.
