It is important to resolve the issue of whether extra infonnation can help assign the probability for failure of a pilot or Naval Flight Officer (NFO) in some phase of flight training. This assigned probability for failure could be based simply on empirical data gathered over some relatively long period of time. However, if scores from selection tests, personality tests, vision exams, psychomot...

Operating in a dangerously sensor-limited closed environment, submarine sonar operators are plagued by primitive sensory interfaces inherited from earlier hardware designs. The inefficient match to the operator’s perceptual capability is exacerbated as submarines increasingly operate in the littoral where, at now reduced ranges from quieter threat targets, detection requires immediate action fo...

The ability of observers to accurately identify up to twenty different colors presented on a CRT screen was studied. The effect of set size on time to recall color-coded information was also investigated via a paired-associates paradigm in which each color was paired with a letter of the alphabet. On test trials the time between color presentation and the subject's verbal response with the appr...

The reception of speech transmitted through an acoustic channel such as the ocean is limited by multipath "time-smearing." The purpose of this study was to obtain a quantitative measure of the effects of such timesmearing on speech intelligibility. A linear, time-invariant channel was used as a model of the ocean. The impulse response of this channel was a sample of band-limited Gaussian noise....
