Learning and Recognition of U.S., Soviet and Pictographic Military Symbology

Abstract

The military intelligence community has become aware of the need to develop an improved code of military symbology for use with the new technology of automated tactical information processing systems being introduced into the Army. The purpose of this research was to collect a body of empirical data that will increase the technical information base on military symbology. The primary objective was to obtain measures of the learning and decoding characteristics of commonly used symbol elements from current U.S. and Soviet codes and from an experimental pictographic code developed by the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI).
