Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER): Collected Papers.
Abstract
This is a collection of papers about the ongoing development of Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER). Environmental Research involves the assessment of human mental and physical capabilities in unusual environments (e.g., vibration, ship motion, deep sea diving, or outer space). Such research often includes repeated measurement of the capabilities of the same subjects before, during, and after exposure to an unusual environment. PETER is being developed specifically for repeated measurement, taking account of required properties of test means, variances, and intertrial correlations. Candidate tests for PETER were suggested by the literature of performance testing, as summarized in the first paper of this collection. The results of the examinations of candidate tests with respect to the required properties are summarized in the second paper of the collection. The remaining papers deal with specific tests, including code substitution, stroop, complex counting, critical tracking, time estimation, arithmetic, air combat maneuvering, digit span, four other memory tests, interference susceptibility, and item recognition.
