Prediction of Vigilance
Author: D. A. Dobbins
Publisher:

Category : Automobile driving
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
"This report describes the second of two studies of vigilance in connection with a road test sponsored by the American Association of State Highway Officials and administered by the Highway Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences. Army drivers operated trucks over experimental highways (Nov 1958 to Nov 1960) under conditions conducive to boredom and fatigue -- characteristic of many Army monitoring jobs. The primary objective of this study was to determine which, if any, of several well-known psychological domains hold most promise for prediction of vigilance performance. A total of 39 predictor and 2 reference measures, grouped into 8 predictor clusters and a single reference cluster, were administered. In general, both reliability and validity coefficients were low. The most promising predictors were the Personality, Personal History, Driver Aptitude, and Perceptual Speed clusters. The Cognitive, Physical, Psychomotor, and Attitudinal clusters were least promising. In spite of large and fairly stable individual differences in detection performance, the highly specific nature of the criterion and possible subject-task interaction appears to restrict the utility of standard general psychological predictors. Measures paralleling more closely parameters of the criterion task -- signal rates, intersignal intervals, sensory modes -- might be expected to show greater promise."--Abstract.

Research Activities on Performance in Army Monitor Systems (U)
Author: John G. Tiedman
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Machinery
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
Activities were designed to meet two related research requirements: (1) to develop general principles and techniques leading to work methods through which to improve the performance of monitoring functions in a variety of Army jobs; and (2) to improve performance of information monitoring personnel within the U.S. Army Security Agency. As the concept of the problem broadened, the objectives of identifying and evaluating those factors tending to raise or lower the level of monitor performance were added. The current program is one of applied research based on simulation of relevant aspects of monitor jobs in a laboratory setting and is organized about three major areas--the nature of monitoring behavior, determinants of monitor performance, and correlates of monitor performance. Laboratory experimentation is conducted in which the effects on performance of factors associated with signal, task, environment, and the individual are studied in various combinations. The vigilance laboratory completed late in FY 1964, houses an electronic simulator through which the relevant features of monitor jobs can be systematically varied. The present report reviews the highlights of five studies conducted by the Task.
