Game-Based Training Applications Teach Soldiers Cultural Skills

Charles River Analytics released a case study of an effort for the US Army called CAATE (Culturally Aware Agents for Training Environments). Under this effort, Charles River developed tools to create game-based training applications for soldiers that teach them mission-critical social and cultural skills. Through computer games and by interacting with CAATE-based artificially intelligent agents, soldiers can safely train to effectively interact with residents of other countries and from different cultures.
