EFFECTS OF INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS, TIMING PROCEDURES, AND PHOTO SCALE ON INTERPRETER PERFORMANCE

Abstract

The document reports on experimentation conducted to determine how the screening of real-time imagery is affected under differing conditions of intelligence requirements, timing procedures, and photo scale. Students in an image interpretation course screened rolls of photographic transparencies to select frames containing priority targets, at the same time detecting and identifying the targets. Half the men worked with imagery on one scale, half with imagery at another. Half the interpreters were machine-paced through the tasks; half were self-paced under a total time limit for each task. Performance on both screening and target identification was evaluated for completeness and accuracy.
