An Information Processing Approach to Performance Assessment. I. Experimental Investigation of an Information Processing Performance Battery.

摘要

This report describes the first study in a program of research dealing with the development and validation of a comprehensive standardized test battery that can be used as an assessment device for the evaluation of performance in a wide variety of situations. The standardized battery is being designed to possess high reliability and predictive validity for a wide variety of criterion tasks. Equally important, the battery is being designed to include tests that possess construct validity: there will be a firm theoretical and empirical base for inferring the information possessing structures and functions that the tests purport to measure. It is expected that such a battery will permit improved personnel management decisions to be made for a wider variety of Navy-relevant jobs than is currently possible using existing techniques.
