The purposes of this study was to analyze the suitability of ADM mnemonics, from the perspectives of instructor pilots and cadet pilots, as a basis for ADM training across a range of different tactical environments. Sixty instructor pilots and forty-seven cadet pilots in the Republic of China Air Force Academy participated. They assessed the suitability of five different ADM mnemonics (SHOR-Wohl, 1981; PASS -Maher, 1989; FOR-DEC-Hormann, 1995; SOAR-Oldaker, 1995; and DESIDE-Murray, 1997) in the 6 different basic types of decision-making situation described by Orasanu (1993): go/no go decisions; recognition-primed decisions; response selection; resource management decisions; non-diagnostic procedure, and problem-solving. The findings indicated that SHOR was regarded as the most suitable mnemonic for application in time-limited and critical, urgent situations. DESIDE was thought to be superior for knowledge-based decisions which needed more comprehensive consideration but were less time limited.
