Naval Medical Research Institute Performance Assessment Battery (NMRI PAB) Documentation

Abstract

A cognitive performance assessment system developed for the evaluation of effects of operational Navy environments on performance is described. The performance assessment battery (NMRI-PAB) is made up of separate performance tests that each measure aspects of human cognitive functioning found to be important in critical tasks performed by Navy and Marine Corps personnel. The battery is designed to operate on a number of different standard microcomputer systems. The tests are administered by menu-driven computer programs and the administration of the battery can be learned easily by individuals not familiar with the performance assessment technology. The NMRI- PAB reflects a general methodology developed within a tri service coordinated effort to provide standardized testing technology for the measurement of human performance in military environments. The report is a detailed description and specification of the assessment battery. Keywords: Performance (Human), Cognitive functioning, Repeated acquisition, Naval personnel.
