The Comparative Effect of Subjective and Objective After-Action Reviews on Team Performance on a Complex Task.
The after-action review (AAR; also known as the after-event review or
debriefing) is an approach to training based on a review of trainees'
performance on recently completed tasks or performance events. Used by
the military for decades, nonmilitary organizations' use of AARs has
increased dramatically in recent years. Despite the prevalence of AARs,
empirical research investigating their effectiveness has been limited.
This study sought to investigate the comparative effectiveness of
objective AARs (reviews based on an objective recording and playback of
trainees' recent performance) and subjective AARs (reviews based on a
subjective, memory-based recall of trainees' recent performance). One
hundred eighty-eight individuals, participating in 47 4-person teams,
were assigned to 1 of 3 AAR conditions and practiced and tested on a
cognitively complex performance task. Although there were no significant
differences between objective and subjective AAR teams across the 5
training outcomes, AAR teams had higher levels of team performance, team
efficacy, openness of communication, and cohesion than did non-AAR
teams but no differences in their levels of team declarative knowledge.
Our results suggest that AARs are effective at enhancing training
outcomes. Furthermore, AARs may not be dependent on objective reviews
and therefore may be a viable training intervention when objective
reviews are not feasible or possible.
