The critical tracking test shows improved performance and reliability with practice, making it suitable for environmental research in unusual settings. Consistent practice leads to total stability for optimal use.

Area of Science:

  • Human performance research
  • Environmental psychology

Background:

  • The Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER) Battery requires reliable tests for unusual environments.
  • The critical tracking test (CCT) was evaluated for its suitability within the PETER Battery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the test-retest reliability and performance stability of the CCT over 14 days.
  • To determine the CCT's potential as a tool for environmental research in novel conditions.

Main Methods:

  • 18 subjects underwent the CCT daily for 14 consecutive days.
  • Baseline performance measures were recorded throughout the study period.

Main Results:

  • Mean performance on the CCT consistently increased over the 14 days.

  • Standard deviations of performance remained constant.
  • Test-retest reliability improved significantly within the first 8 days, followed by differential stability.

    • Conclusions:

    • The CCT demonstrates practice-related improvements in performance and reliability.
    • The test is a strong candidate for environmental research, particularly when subjects achieve total stability through consistent practice.
    • Findings support the CCT's inclusion in the PETER Battery for assessing human performance in exotic environments.
