Base Claim:
1. A method of training a user via an interactive electronic training system wherein the user views and hears a presentation and verbally articulates answers, the method comprising: providing via an interactive electronic training system terminal an informational presentation of information on which the user is to be tested and trained; providing via the interactive electronic training system terminal a training presentation of an interaction between two or more real or simulated people, of a person appearing to speak to the user, and/or a monologue by a person, wherein the training presentation includes audible articulated words and a visual presentation of at least one person speaking or appearing to speak; providing, via the interactive electronic training system terminal, user instructions via which the user is instructed to identify using verbal articulation one or more correct acts of a first type committed by at least one of the persons in the training presentation using an audible articulation, without providing a choice of answers from which the user can select; causing, at least in part, an indication to be stored by the interactive electronic training system, in computer readable memory as to whether the user correctly identified a first correct act performed by at least one of the persons in the training presentation; enabling, at least in part, a user instruction to be provided by the interactive electronic training system via which the user is instructed to verbally identify one or more errors committed by at least one of the persons in the training presentation, without providing a choice of answers from which the user can select; causing, at least in part, an indication to be stored by the interactive electronic training system in computer readable memory as to whether the user correctly identified a first error committed by at least one of the persons in the training presentation; providing, via the interactive electronic training system terminal, user instructions via which the user is instructed to verbally explain why it is important to correct the first error, without providing a choice of answers from which the user can select; causing, at least in part, an indication to be stored by the interactive electronic training system in computer readable memory as to whether the user correctly explained why it is important to correct the first error; causing, at least in part, the user to be asked, via the interactive electronic training system terminal, to recite, in the first person, correct language that should have been used by at least one of the persons in the training presentation so that the first error would not have occurred, without providing a choice of answers from which the user can select; presenting via the interactive electronic training system terminal a preprogrammed correct answer in the form of text, audio, animation, and/or video so that a scorer can compare the preprogrammed correct answer with language verbally provided by the user in response to the instruction to state correct language and enter a corresponding score substantially immediately after the user responded to the instruction to state correct language; causing, at least in part, an indication to be stored by the interactive electronic training system in computer readable memory as to whether the user recited the correct language; calculating at least one score by the interactive electronic training system based at least in part on one or more of the stored indications, including at least the indication as to whether the user correctly identified a first correct act performed by at least one of the persons in the training presentation; causing, by the interactive electronic training system, the at least one score to be visibly presented.
