1. A method for enhancing and assessing decision making skills of a participant in a conflict environment via a simulator, the method comprising: identifying a plurality of cognitive tasks for a desired training environment; selecting a learning model that at least in part identifies an assessment methodology for assessing the participant during a simulated conflict scenario comprising a plurality of simulation events in the training environment, wherein the learning model is selected from candidate learning theories and models based on a needs analysis and mission analysis; identifying a plurality of intuitive decision making skills associated with the cognitive tasks, wherein each intuitive decision making skill is assessable based on a decision of the participant upon exposure to a corresponding simulation event of the plurality of simulation events that includes a plurality of cues which are presented to the participant, wherein at least one of the plurality of cues is an audio cue; identifying the plurality of cues associated with the corresponding simulation event based on a plurality of actual cues from a real-world event which is being simulated by the corresponding simulation event; responsive to the identifying the plurality of cues, developing an instructional strategy with integrated live, virtual and constructive training interfaces; using the instructional strategy, and creating the simulated conflict scenario based on the identified intuitive decision making skills; providing a plurality of interconnected hardware elements which implements the simulated conflict scenario for the participant; running the simulated conflict scenario with the participant; assessing the performance of the participant in the decisions made; and assessing the intuitive decision making skills demonstrated during the simulation by identifying cognitive clues and factors associated with decisions made during the simulation.
