Unified Tri-Services Cognitive Performance Assessment Battery: Review and Methodology
Abstract
The Unified Tri-Services Cognitive Performance Assessment Battery (UTC-PAB) represents the primary metric for a Level 2 evaluation of cognitive performance in the JWGD3 MILPERF chemical defense biomedical drug screening program. The UTC-PAB contains a menu of 25 tests that were selected from test batteries currently in existence throughout DoD research laboratories. Test selection was based upon established test validity and relevance to military performance. Sensitivity to effects of hostile environments and sustained operations were also considerations involved in test selection. This report presents a scheme for organizing the tests in the UTC-PAB. Also, extensive documentation for each test is presented in the following areas: background literature review focusing of the theoretical basis of the test; information regarding the reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the test; data specifications; and instructions to subjects. This information is presented to guide researchers in the selection and interpretation of tests in the UTC-PAB. Keywords: Human performance; Tests; Task battery.
