|
 | A review of the literature on pilot selection and training, perceptual-motor processes, and cognitive processes was conducted. The objectives of this review were: (a) to identify perceptual-motor and cognitive tasks that demonstrated reliable individual differences in performance and (b) to identify perceptual-motor abilities and cognitive processes of demonstrated importance to successful piloting behavior. From this review, a set of tasks were identified that tapped the abilities and processes important to ... |

| Trainability of Abilities. |
JUN 1980 |
|
| Authors:
Jerrold M. Levine; ADVANCED RESEARCH RESOURCES ORGANIZATION WASHINGTON DC
|
 | The feasibility of training selected abilities so as to facilitate transfer among tasks requiring these abilities and therefore reduce training time and increase personnel flexibility was investigated. Undergraduate college students participated in several studies of from one to five days duration. Experimental subjects received extensive practice with feedback provided on a set of tasks known to require the ability of being trained. Control subjects received no practice. All subjects were ... |

|
| The feasibility of training selected abilities so as to facilitate transfer among tasks requiring these abilities and therefore reduce training time and increase personnel flexibility was investigated. Sixty undergraduate college students participated in a study of from one to five days duration. Experimental subjects received extensive practice with feedback provided on a set of tasks known to require the abilities of flexibility of closure and spatial scanning. Control subjects received ... |

|
| Three studies were carried out in order to evaluate the utility and reliability of a flow diagram designed to assess the ability requirements of jobs or tasks. The flow diagram was an easy to use systematic procedure for making a series of binary decisions as to whether or not each of 40 human abilities are essential to the successful conduct of a job or task. Results indicated that the instrument ... |

| Effects of Ancillary Information upon Photointerpreter Performance, |
SEP 1974 |
|
| Authors:
Jerrold M. Levine; Donald Eldredge; AMERICAN INSTITUTES FOR RESEARCH WASHINGTON D C
|
| The intelligence systems research program has as its objective to improve the Army's capability to process tactical intelligence information through application of current technology in data handling techniques, computer aids, work methods, and information management. The report evaluates the improvement of photointerpretation performance achieved by providing ancillary intelligence information to the photointerpreter. The research is presented in two sections: a reprint from Human Factors, 1972, and an appendix that supplements ... |

| Parameters of Information-Seeking Behavior. |
MAY 1974 |
|
| Authors:
Jerrold M. Levine; Rae E. Brahlek; AMERICAN INSTITUTES FOR RESEARCH SILVER SPRING MD
|
| The research carried out under this contract represents an attempt to evaluate information seeking under realistic conditions relevant to the design of information systems and the training of information analysts. The research effort resulted in the accomplishment of four major experiments. Experiment I was designed to assess the effects upon information-seeking and decision-making performance of (a) self-versus controlled-pacing of information input, (b) the rate and variability of rate of information ... |

| The Effect of Alcohol on Human Performance: A Classification and Integration of Research Findings. |
FEB 1973 |
|
| Authors:
Jerrold M. Levine; Gloria D. Greenbaum; AMERICAN INSTITUTES FOR RESEARCH SILVER SPRING MD
|
| The development and evaluation of systems for describing and classifying tasks which can improve generalization of research results about human performance is essential for organizing, communicating and implementing these research findings. The present research was undertaken for the purpose of structuring and classifying the literature on the effects of alcohol on human performance. The literature on alcohol's effect on human performance was extensively searched and all relevant studies were retrieved. ... |

|
| The research represents an attempt to evaluate information seeking under realistic relevant to the design of information systems and the training of information analysts. The research effort has as its goal the accomplishment of two major experiments. One which has been completed was designed to assess the effects upon information-seeking and decision-making performance of (a) self- versus controlled-pacing of information input, (b) the rate and variability of rate of information ... |

| Development of a Taxonomy of Human Performance: Evaluation of an Abilities Classification System for Integrating and Generating Research Findings. |
SEP 1971 |
|
| Authors:
Jerrold M. Levine; Tania Romashko; Edwin A. Fleishman; AMERICAN INSTITUTES FOR RESEARCH PITTSBURGH PA
|
| A preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of a task classification system based upon human abilities for integrating and generalizing research findings was the focus of the present paper. The evaluation was designed to determine (a) the extent to which abilities could differentiate task performance and (b) the extent to which such performance could be differentiated with respect to selected independent variables. Fifty-three studies in the vigilance literature were analyzed in ... |

|
| A reliable and valid method of assessing error costs is essential for the development of optimal procedures for controlling image interpretation system output under changing military conditions. Research was undertaken to develop a method of quantifying the subjective costs that a commander in the field associates with the consequences of action taken on the basis of erroneous image interpretation reports.
