A Manual for the Brief Vestibular Disorientation Test.

Abstract

This report describes procedures for implementing the Brief Vestibular Disorientation Test (BVDT) which was designed to detect individuals with extreme reactivity to disorientation stress. The procedures are brief, simple to administer, and do not require expensive equipment. The BVDT has been tested for reliability and also for validity against a pass-fail criterion in naval aviation training by the Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory under sponsorship of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery and the Naval Medical Research and Development Command.
