Research abstract
We propose numerous innovations for training soldiers to decode nonverbal cues. Courseware will teach universal and culture specific nonverbal cues, distance and close range decoding. Video will be used extensively to present relevant, engaging material. Military relevant, game based scenarios will provide practice and assess student performance. Video vignettes of soldiers discussing experiences with nonverbal cues will provide a context for students to ascertain why the material is important and how it can benefit specific situations.
