Development of Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER): Complex Counting Test.

Abstract

This study is the first in a program to develop a battery of Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER). Nineteen volunteer subjects were tested daily for 3 weeks on a complex task requiring the operator to keep simultaneous track of several things with changing states. Average daily performances are reported as well as reliabilities of three main types: (1) internal consistency of the test; (2) sensitivity-the ability to differentiate subjects, and (3) stability-consistency of measurement over repeated sessions. The results showed that, on this task, learning was accomplished quickly, and performance stayed level for 3 weeks. (AN)
