    Computerized video games show promise as performance evaluation tests for environmental research, with four out of five games meeting criteria. These games offer practical advantages over traditional methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Human Biodynamics
    • Environmental Psychology
    • Cognitive Performance Measurement

    Background:

    • Environmental research frequently employs repeated-measures designs, necessitating performance evaluation tests.
    • The Naval Biodynamics Laboratory is developing a battery of performance evaluation tests for environmental research (PETER).
    • Existing performance tests include paper-and-pencil and apparatus-based methods, with limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the suitability of five computerized video games as performance tests within an environmental research context.
    • To compare the efficacy of video games against conventional performance testing methods.
    • To assess practical considerations such as availability, reliability, and cost.

    Main Methods:

    • Five computerized video games were selected for evaluation.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Subjects performed each task for three weeks, in a consistent order.
  • Performance data was collected and analyzed to assess suitability against established criteria.

    • Main Results:

    • Four of the five video games met all performance testing criteria satisfactorily.
    • One video game did not meet the established criteria.
    • Video games demonstrated advantages in availability, equipment reliability, and cost compared to traditional tests.

    Conclusions:

    • Computerized video games are a promising tool for performance testing in environmental research.
    • Video games offer practical benefits that make them attractive alternatives to conventional tests.
    • Further application of video games in performance testing and other contexts is recommended.
