This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT) and the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB) were administered to 2,233 U.S. Air Force pilot candidates to investigate the common sources of variance in these batteries. The AFOQT was operationally administered as part of the officer commissioning and aircrew selection testing requirement. The MAB is a clinical test battery and was administered to provide an intellectual baseline to assist clinicians when it becomes necessary to evaluate pilots with cognitive referral questions. A joint factor analysis of the AFOQT and MAB revealed that each battery had a hierarchical structure. The higher-order factor in the AFOQT previously had been identified as general cognitive ability (g). The intercorrelation between the higher-order factors from the batteries was .981, indicating that both measured g. Although both batteries measured g and included verbal, spatial, and perceptual speed tests, the AFOQT also included tests of aviation knowledge not found in the MAE. Additional studies are required to evaluate the utility of the AFOQT for clinical assessment and the MAB for officer and aircrew selection.

Download or read book Collaborative Crew Performance in Complex Operational Systems written by North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Research and Technology Organization. Human Factors and Medicine Panel. Symposium and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains the proceedings of the first RTO Human Factors and Medical Panel (HFM) Symposium, held in Edinburgh, Scotland, April 20-22, 1998, including the Technical Evaluation Report and Keynote Addresses. Research and applications in human factors has frequently only considered individual operator interfaces, for limited work domains in well-defined scenarios, as evaluated by unitary measures. As we progress towards the next millennium, complex operations will increasingly require consideration and integration of the collaborative element wherein crew performance becomes a critical factor for success. The goal of this symposium has been to bring together a global perspective on issues and factors that need to be understood when systems design is focused on the crew operating in a complex environment. Hence, the papers contained in these proceedings give the reader a broad, multidisciplinary view of needs, requirements, ongoing research and development projects, and various research agendas that will bring about new technologies, approaches, and measures with regard to collaborative crew performance. The papers and multiple perspectives contained in these proceedings provide a baseline for understanding many elements of crew performance and in that sense will be valuable for the human factors specialist that must now design for the collaborative element and be concerned with the broad bandwidth of complexities within the operational setting. Additionally, the volume provides information for researchers, scientists, and engineers in many different areas who find themselves immersed in collaborative systems design.
Download or read book Comparison of a Computerized Version to a Paper Pencil Version of the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery MAB written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the comparability of the Armstrong Laboratory's computerized version and the original paper-and-pencil version of an intelligence test. The Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB) is a multiscale test of intelligence that is widely used in aerospace cognitive testing. The research question was whether the two tests are psychometrically equivalent. Comparing the scores of 135 student pilot candidates who took the paper-and-pencil version to the scores of 402 student pilot candidates who took the computerized version, there are no clinically significant differences between the two versions. Full Scale, Verbal, and Performance Intelligence Quotient (IQ) scores were not significantly different across the two tests. Single factor and two factor analyses indicated that the computerized version was factorially similar to not only the paper-and-pencil pilot candidate data but also the original construction samples.
Download or read book Comparison of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery to the General Aptitude Test Battery written by Pamla Palmer and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A statistical comparison of two test batteries, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and the General Aptitude Battery (GATB), is presented. The comparison is based on a sample that is predominantly male and white. Four different analyses were carried out and are reported here. The first analysis described the sample and its performance on the subtests and the composites of the GATB and the subtests and Department of Defense Student Testing Program composites of the ASVAB. The second analysis investigated the extent to which the ASVAB can predict GATB subtests and composites, and vice versa. The third analysis was a canonical correlation of the subtests of the two batteries. The fourth analysis consisted of principal components factor analyses of the two batteries, both separately and combined. Results showed that the batteries do not overlap enough to be considered equivalent or interchangeable, but that they do share a large amount of variance. Such shared variance is to be expected in batteries which have been developed for occupational selection or guidance for similar populations. Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB), Tests. (eg).

Download or read book Problems and Solutions in Human Assessment written by Richard D. Goffin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of individual differences has generated shockwaves affecting sociology, education, and a number of other behavioral sciences as well as the fields of management and organizational behavior. In covering the assessment of individual differences, this book pays tribute to the interests and activities that Douglas N. Jackson has incorporated into his career as a psychologist. He continues to be a leader in putting academic findings to practical use. He has also inspired generations of students with his mastery of complex concepts and as a personal example of the ability to balance several simultaneous areas of research. Consistent with the focus of Jackson's research, the theme of this book will be how the use of deductive, construct-driven strategies in the assessment of individual differences leads to benefits in terms of the applicability of the assessment instruments and the clarity of the conclusions that can be drawn from the research.

Download or read book Aerospace Clinical Psychology written by Raymond E. King and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flight training and flying are hazardous activities that demand the most of human operators, whether they be pilots or other factors (maintainers, air traffic controllers, managers, regulators) involved in the complex aviation system. 'Aerospace Clinical Psychology' serves as a handbook for dealing with aviators and other operators, those seen as patients as well as those functioning 'normally', who none-the-less wish to improve their performance. This book has much to offer the audiences who intersect the Human Factors and clinical areas of aviation and operators in extreme environments. It deftly defines specific touchstone areas such as selection, training, accident investigation, measurement and testing, and practical interventions. The little-margin-for-error realm of aviation exposes operators to stress and risk on a daily basis. 'Aerospace Clinical Psychology' provides a blueprint for combining the talents of clinical psychologists with flight surgeons and Human Factors practitioners to enhance safety and efficiency.
