Standardization of Performance Tests: A Proposal for Further Steps.

Abstract

UNCLASSIFIEDApproved for public release; distribution unlimited. • This report summarizes the results of Phase I of a study on the fea jbility .-V.and development of a standardized task battery for measiiement of human performance. Phase I includes literature reviews on task batteries, interviews with experts in the field of human performance and analytic studies of the theoretical background of existing and possible task batteries. Recormendations for a further task battery are given.

Performance of Performance Tests: Comparison of Psychometric Properties of 24 Tests from Two Microcomputer-Based Batteries

“…The approach followed in the development of these batteries includes cognitive theory (Guillion & Eckerman, 1986), a desire to "standardize" (Hegge cited in Sanders, Haywood, Schroiff, & Wauschkuhn, 1986), the need to field a battery which tests the mental functions disrupted by the agents (Baker, et al, 1985) and the opportunity to computerize paper-and-pencil tests (Barrett et al, 1977).…”

The Development and Use of a Computerized Human Performance Test Battery for Repeated-Measures Applications

“…The approach followed in the development of these batteries includes, for example, cognitive theory (Guillion & Eckerman, 1986), a desire to standardize (Hegge, cited in Sanders, Haywood, Schroiff, & Wauschkuhn, 1986), the need to field a battery that tests the mental functions disrupted by various agents (Baker et al, 1985), and the opportunity to computerize paper-and-pencil tests (Barrett et al, 1977). To this list we add our own philosophy.…”
