Analysis of Officer Performance on an Experimental Task - Communications Exhibit

Abstract

The Communications Exhibit Task is one of 15 situational performance exercises developed and administered as a segment of a large-scale longitudinal research project initiated in response to recommendations by the Army Scientific Advisory Panel (ASAP) and the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (DCSPER). The former indicated a need for additional research on the performance and selection of combat officers and suggested that dimensions of such performance might be defined by means of performance exercises within a combat simulation. DCSPER, in view of the increasing complexity of military technology, was interested in determining the feasibility of differential prediction of performance for broad areas of possible officer specialization. The research design incorporates both sets of requirements. The differential prediction aspect of the research is concerned with three broad areas--combat, administrative, and technical.
