The Development of Perceptual/Motor and Cognitive Performance Measures under a High-G Environment: A Preliminary Study

Abstract

REPORT NUMBERING SYSTEM-The numbering of technical project reports issued by the Naval Air Development Center Is arranged for specific Identification purposes. Each number consists of the Center acronym, the calendar year In which the number was assigned, the sequence number of the report within the specific calendar year, and the official 2-digit correspondence code of the Command Officer or the Functional Department responsible for the report. For example: Report No. NADC-88020-60 indicates the twer.t!cth Center report for the year 1988 and prepared by the Air Vehicle and Crew Systems Technology Department. The numerical codes are as follows:

Reclined Seating in Advanced Crewstations: Human Performance Considerations

“…Procedure. A tracking task and a classification task, developed in an earlier experiment (Deaton et al, 1990), were used to assess psychomotor and cognitive performance, respectively. The objective of the tracking task was to keep a set of crossbars centered via force stick inputs (see Figure 1).…”

“…This problem was eliminated in a recent study which provided the background work for the current investigation (Deaton, Holmes, Hitchcock, and Warner, 1990).…”
