The authors' interpretive claim from the abstract of an ethnographic study of simulator-based training in the Natural Resource Program, based on observations, video recordings, and fieldnotes. The study reports that "the instructional processes seem to involve, rather than handling specific high-stakes and risky situations, the design of activities that aim at volume training".
