Abstract
A minicomputer controlled battery of tasks is provided which can be presented individually or in combination on a single peripheral device, a cathode ray tube CRT, and which uses the accompanying keyboard as the operators console. The battery is composed of the following five tasks which represent major dimensions of complex human performance probability monitoring, arithmetic operations, target identification, warning light monitoring, and blinking light monitoring. This system shows that a computer- based CRT display facility can provide, in a single instrumentation complex, all of the advantages of the several separate packages currently found in performance assessment batteries, and more importantly, add a flexibility of input and output control that has never before been possible.
