Approved For Release SEC RET (7) Training Session Dynamics: During the 30-60 minutes prior to the agreed-tpon time of a training session, the monitor offers some encourapement to the trainee in the same manner that a coach might pive a pep talk to his team, During the 15 minutes immediately before the session the trainee and moniter are generally silent. Experience has shown (unpublished data) that this quiet time enhances the training process. The training room is homogeneously~colored, acoustic-tiled, and reatureless, with light controlled by a dimmer, so that environmental distractions can he minimized. During the entire process the tratnee and monitor function as a team, The monitor provides encouragement with words of reassurance that the task is, in fact, possible. At no time is the session conducted by the trainee in the absence of all other persons. If the trainee does not have any immediate sensory impressions, the monitor applies no pressure, Rather, the monitor reassures the trainee that there is no time limit for the training session. Tf ait appears to the monitor that the impressions are in some way contradictory or inconsistent, the monitor may then attempt clarification by asking questions in order to verify what the trainee first describes, All sessions are tape-recorded, and pen and papet are available for the tratnee to sketch his or her perceptions, Experience has shown that some trainees prefer to combine written and oral descriptions, while some prefer to work sequenttally. The average training session for orientation is approximately 15 minutes of actual perception. Trainees generally are not permitted to go beyond 30 minutes as this leads to perceptual confusion and eventual loss of the training affect. (8) Post Session Dynamics: After the training sesston is over, the trainee and monitor obtain specific information about the target, either in picture descriptive form for remote geographic sites, or--~as in the case of local sites--by actually visiting the target site, The trainee and monitor then discuss the session results. The purpose of this post-session activity is to provide the trainee with the satisfaction of knowing how well he or she did while mental perceptions of the targeted site are still fresh in mind. b.

The training involves Lectures on theory coupled with practical exercises and drills. Particularly effective instructional procedures include active participation wherein the trainee interacts with the curriculum materials by vesponding, practicing, and testing each step of the material to he mastered; intormation feedback, wherein the trainee finds out with minimal delay whether the response is correct: and individualized instruction, wherein the trainee moves ahead at his or her own rate. The training procedures have been broken down into several stages representing various elements of CRV phenomena. These stages both facilitate training and actually follow the predictable course of increasing perception which buitds itself in specific increments and impact. Stages Il through 3 appertadn to general site features, which become increasingly refined as individual competency with Stage 3 techniques develops, Stage 4 involves perception of specific site elements, a good portion of which may not be available to any other intelligence techniques, save for actual penetration of the site. Stage 5 allows the trainee in a sense to reverse the procedure and “interrogate” his perceptions, allowing clarification of various specific ofr subtle features of the site. Stage 6 permits the construction of 3~dimensional models of major site characteristics, with increasing refinements in detail. Experience and theory extension indicates that additional increments exist beyond Stage 6, Research is underway to develop and define the parameters and potentials of these additional fields. (6) Session Dynamics: In conducting a CRV session, a remote viewer or trainee and a monitor begin by seating themselves at the opposite ends of a table in a special remote viewing room equipped with paper and pens, a tape recorder, and anu overhead TV camera which allows either recording for documentation, or monitoring by individuals outside the room, The room is homogeneously~colored, acoustie-tiled, and featureless, with light controlled by a dimmer, so that environmental distractions can be minimized. The session begins when the monitor provides targeting information, in the form of specific site coordinates, to the trainee, For training purposes the monitor is allowed to know enough about the site to enable him to determine when accurate versus inaccurate information is being provided. The session then proceeds with the monitor repeating the targeting information at appropriate intervals and providing necessary feedhack. The feedback procedure was designed to reinforce the trainee's contact with the site but not to assist him by random cuing. The remote viewer generates verbal resvonses and sketches, until a coherent Approved For Release ooosifsiphe Gas fase $8.04728R001500040003-0
} a ‘Approved For Release SECRET response to the overall task requirement emerges. The use of the quick reaction-response procedure has been found useful in minimizing imaginative embellishment. (7) Post Session Dynamics: After the training session is over, the trainee and monitor obtain specific information about the target, As in the case of orientation training, this is presented in picture descriptive form for remote geographic sites, or in the case of Local sites, may involve actually visiting the target site. The trainee and monitor then discuss the session results, again with the purpose of providing the trainee with the satisfaction of knowing how well he or she did while mental perceptions of the targeted site are still fresh. ec.

Hathaway, Ph.D., and J. C. McKinley, M.D., The Psychological Corporation, The MMPI is designed to provide an objective assessment of some of the major personality characteristics that affect personal and social adjustment, The point of view determining the importance of a trait in this case is that of the clinical or personnel worker who wishes to assay those traits that are commcnly characteristic of disabling psychological abnormality. The carefully constructed and eross-validated scales provide a means for measuring the personality status of Literate adolescents and adults together with a basis for evaluating the acceptability and dependability of each test record. Nine scales were originally developed for elinical use of the inventory and were named for the abnormal conditions on which their construction was based. The scales were nok expected to measure pure traits nor to represent diserete etiological or prognostic entities. Since they have been shown ta have meaning within the normal range of behavior, thes scales are now commonly referred to hy their abbreviations--4s (hypochondriasis), D (depression), Hy (Hysteria), Pd (psychopathic deviate), Mf (masculinity- femininity), Fa (paranoia), PE (psychasthenia), Sc (schizophrenia), and Ma (hypomania)--or by their code numbers to avoid possibly misleading connotations. Many other scales have subsequently been developed from the same items; Si (social introversion) is one that is commonly scored. There are also three validating scales: 4 (lie), F (validity), and K (correction). 2. Gordon Personal Profile - Inventory (GPI): Developed by Leonard V. Gordon, Ph.D., The Psychological Corporation. The GPI is companion instrument to the Gordon Personal Profile (GPP). It measures four additional traits, namely Cautiousness (C), Original Thinking (0), Personal Relations (P), and Vigor (Vv). The two instruments used together provide an economical coverage of eight important factors in the personality domain. Both have been found to be appropriate for use with high school, college, industrial, and general adult groups. 3.
