“…Essentially this study represents a convergence of two lines of research. One involves the development of analytical objective measures of pilot performance (Boyle & Hagin, 1953;Ericksen, 1952b;Ornstein, Flexman, & Nichols, 1954;Smith, Flexman, & Houston, 1952;Sutter, Townsend, & Ornstein, 1954). The other line of research is represented by laboratory studies of experimental tasks concerned with the isolation of generalizable dimensions of skilled performance (Fleishman, 1953(Fleishman, , 1954(Fleishman, , 1956(Fleishman, , 1958a(Fleishman, , 1958bFleishman & Hempel, 1954a, 1954b, 1956Parker & Fleishman, 1959).…”

“…A thorough review of developments in measuring pilot performance up to 1952 has been presented by Ericksen (1952a). In the late postwar program considerable progress was made in developing more objective flying performance measures in connection with pilot selection and training studies in the Air Force research program (Boyle & Hagin, 1953;Flexman, Townsend, & Ornstein, 1954;Ornstein, Nichols, & Flexman, 1954;Sutter, Townsend, & Ornstein, 1954). It is from this series of studies that a practical and reliable in-flight performance measure has emerged.…”

"Measures of flying proficiency in 24 separate maneuvers were obtained on a sample of student pilots. The intercorrelations among these maneuver performances were subjected to factor analytic study. The interrelationships were best interpreted in terms of ability factors, most of which had been identified previously in laboratory studies of experimental perceptual-motor tasks. The factors were identified as Control Precision, Spatial Orientation, Multilimb Coordination, Response Orientation, Rate Control, and Kinesthetic Discrimination. The results seem to indicate the usefulness of such ability categories in describing complex skills. Similar analyses of the interrelationships among component performance measures of other complex jobs may provide one way of defining the ability requirements underlying proficiency in those jobs."

“…The isolation of the most relevant information should provide trainees with simpler encoding requirements in Task 1, and increase the probability of the appropriate acquisition of the IBR material. Improper stimulus encoding is likely when trainees are unfamiliar with the requirements of Task 1 or 2 and when the JBR material is complex (e.g., Ornstein, Nichols, & Flexman, 1954;Caro, 1973).…”
