Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented simulator, the method comprising: initiating, at a computer, a training episode; tracking a simulated time of the training episode, the simulated time being tracked with a simulation timer, wherein the simulation timer advances throughout the duration of the training episode, and advances at a rate that is different than real-time; displaying, on a graphical user interface, a time indicator corresponding to the simulated time of the training episode; presenting a scenario to a user via the graphical user interface, the scenario including information relating to a decision to be made by the user, a prompt for the user to make the decision, and two or more decision options corresponding to the scenario, the decision options being selectable by the user; receiving, via user input to the graphical user interface, a response corresponding to the scenario and including selection of one or more of the decision options; determining the simulated time at which the response was received; scoring the response by adjusting the value of two or more scoring metrics based on the one or more selected decision options, and by adjusting the value of one or more of the scoring metrics also based on the simulated time at which the response was received, the scoring metrics each relating to a different user performance indicator; and ending the training episode when the simulated time reaches a determined ending time.
