The Measurement of Human Time Estimating Ability Using a Modified Jerison Device.

Abstract

The first objective of this research was to design and fabricate a variation of the Jerison time estimation device. This modified Jerison device has the requirement of being STS compatiable; meaning it must be light weight, reliable, and totally self contained. The second objective of the research was to determine if providing feedback aids the subject in improving his TEA (Time Estimation Ability). When this research began the decision whether or not to provide the astronauts with a readout of their estimated time had not been made. The final objective of the research was to tailor the experiment to fit the STS environment and astronaut workloads. Originator-supplied keywords include: Time Intervals, Time Compression, Display Systems, Feedback, Optimization, Theses.
