Development of Techniques for Measuring Performance in the Undersea Environment.

Abstract

The overall objective of the project was to develop precise, reliable techniques for monitoring changes in human performance during exposure to unusual environmental conditions. Specifically, this research was designed to provide base-line information on the usefulness of a selected task as an instrument in assessing performance degradation under adverse conditions germane to the diving situation. The task selected for investigation was a modified version of the Stroop Color-Word Interference Test (CWIT). Experiments conducted were designed to determine the efficiency of this test in evaluating the effects of environmental and psychological stress on cognitive functioning.
