Methods for Predicting Job-Ability Requirements: I. Ability Requirements as a Function of Changes in the Characteristics of an Auditory Signal Identification Task.
Abstract
The report describes the first study in a program of research dealing with the relationships between the characteristics of human tasks and the abilities required for task performance. The goal of the program is to generate principles which can be used to identify ability requirements from knowledge of the characteristics of a task and of variations in the conditions of task performance. Such knowledge has important implications for both selection and training of personnel. The study investigated the relationship between variations in an auditory signal identification task and consequent changes in the abilities related to identification performance.
