Task Validation for Studies on Fragmented Sleep and Cognitive Efficiency under Stress

Abstract

A computer gaming approach was used to create a new type of automated performance task (STAR). The task unobtrusively measures multiple cognitive skills and risk-taking behavior under various stress and workload conditions. A training manual and protocol were developed, and performance criteria established. Measurement reliability and performance under different task difficulty levels and crisis conditions were assessed. STAR is shown to be a sensitive task which promises to reliably measure major aspects of human function under a variety of conditions. (Author)
