A Comparison of the Army's Project A Cognitive and Psychomotor Tests to Analogous Air Force and Navy Tests

Abstract

This report describes predictor batteries measuring cognitive abilities and psychomotor skills that are being developed by the research efforts represented by the Army's Project A, the Air Force's Learning Ability Measurement Program (Lamp) and Basic Attributes Test (BAT) Program, and the Navy's spatial abilities effort. Much of the enclosed information regarding the Air Force and Navy measures is based on R. E. Christal's reports on cognitive tests developed ty TTCP Services. Comparisons made between Project A measures with those of the other services concentrate on: (a) conceptual comparisons (i. e., the construct representativeness and methodological paradigm on which the tests are based); and (b) operational comparisons, i.e., matching each Project A test to similarly constructed tests developed by the other two services.
