The NRC Stressalyser. A General-Purpose Pursuit Tracking Task for Field and Laboratory Studies (Le'Stressalyser'du CNRC: Une Tache de Poursuite Polyvalente qui se Destine aux Etudes au Dedans et au Dehors du Laboratoire),

Abstract

The stressalyser is a step-input, subject-paced, pursuit tracking task developed for use in measuring performance impairment under adverse conditions, and in studying motor control. The instrument produces measures of several aspects of the subject's performance following stress. Results of published studies are briefly reviewed and some new potential applications are indicated.
