Task Development to Validate Psychophysiological Monitoring of Cognitive Workload for Real-time Operator State Monitoring

Abstract

The Psychophysiologically Validated Assessments of Composite Workload for Real-time Operator State Monitoring project is one of a number of projects examining how to measure workload in real time at the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL). The current evaluation examines a subset of the iterative development process of the aforementioned project. This report aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the task battery and instrumentation in their ability to capture cognitive workload differences between gross levels of task demand across the cognitive resource space. This evaluation will also provide a data set using manufacturer-preferred data collection software for future reference. Results from this evaluation revealed areas for task battery improvement, recording instrument capabilities, and general guidelines for progressing with the overarching study.
