NEPTUNE: A MULTIELEMENT TASK SYSTEM FOR EVALUATING HUMAN PERFORMANCE.
Abstract
A multielement psychomotor test device called Neptune (for neuropsychiatric test unit) was devised to study the airman's behavior as systems operator as well as pilot. Two Neptune configurations have been developed: the Mark 1, which incorporates the functions of vigilance, arithmetic and encoding, compensatory tracking, visual monitoring with short-term memory, and problem-solving; and the Mark 2 which contains the same tasks and, in addition, an auditory monitoring task. Task descriptions, circuit design and operation, parts lists, illustrative data from subjects participating in test standardization studies, and illustrative experimental data are provided. In addition to measuring human performance, the system has the capability for inducing a unique task-stress factor. (Author)
