Abstract:

As part of a sustained operations SUSOPS research project, there was an opportunity to collect performance data on navy aircrew flying a practice long-range strike mission from an aircraft carrier. Essex Corporation NEC 8102A microprocessors were programmed with a performance assessment battery PAB consisting of five cognitive tasks and three finger-tapping tasks. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the number of practice sessions required to eliminate learning effects and stabilize performance. Keywords manual tasks practice requirements.
