Senior police officers' tactical gaze control and visual attention improve with an individual video-based police firearms training. To validate the efficacy of said intervention training, a previous experiment was systematically replicated with a sample of = 52 second-year police cadets. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention training that focused on situational awareness, tactical gaze control, and visual attention, or an active control training that addressed traditional marksmanship skills. In a pre- and post-test, they had to engage in dynamic shoot/don't shoot video scenarios in an indoor firing range. Overall, the previous findings were replicated: Baseline levels of performance were elevated, yet the intervention group significantly improved their response time and time until the first hit. False positive decision-making cannot be reported at all; false negatives were marginal in the pre-test and eliminated after training. Further, the outcomes of the previous sample of senior officers and the present sample of cadets are compared and lead to the conclusion that the presented approach is a valuable extension of current training standards for both senior police officers and police cadets.
高级警官的战术注视控制和视觉注意力通过基于个人视频的警察枪械训练得到改善。为了验证上述干预训练的效果，之前的一项实验以52名二年级警察学员为样本进行了系统复制。参与者被随机分配到侧重于态势感知、战术注视控制和视觉注意力的干预训练组，或接受侧重于传统射击技能的主动控制训练组。在前后测试中，他们必须在室内射击场参与动态射击/不射击视频场景。总体而言，之前的研究结果得到了复制：基线表现水平有所提高，但干预组显著缩短了反应时间和首次命中前的时间。完全没有出现假阳性决策；假阴性在测试前很少，训练后消除。此外，将之前高级警官样本和当前学员样本的结果进行了比较，得出的结论是，所提出的方法是当前高级警官和警察学员训练标准的宝贵延伸。
