    This study investigated time-estimation reliability for the Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER). Repeated testing revealed declining reliability, suggesting the task is currently unsuitable for PETER, though further research is recommended.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Cognitive Science
    • Environmental Science

    Background:

    • The Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER) battery aims to assess various human performance metrics.
    • Time-estimation tasks are considered for inclusion in comprehensive performance assessment batteries.
    • Understanding the reliability of such tasks under repeated testing is crucial for their validation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reliability of a time-estimation task when subjected to repeated testing.
    • To determine the suitability of this specific time-estimation task for inclusion in the PETER battery.
    • To analyze the effects of repeated testing on measures of time judgment accuracy.

    Main Methods:

    • The study employed the method of production to assess time judgments.

  • Nineteen subjects estimated eight different time intervals over 15 consecutive workdays.
  • Each subject completed five trials per interval daily, with constant error and variable error scores recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • Constant error showed no significant changes across days.
    • Variable error demonstrated a moderate effect of days (p < .04).
    • A significant decline in the reliability of both constant and variable error was observed with repeated testing.

    Conclusions:

    • The time-estimation task, as currently implemented, is not a strong candidate for the PETER battery due to declining reliability.
    • Further research is necessary to explore the potential unique contributions of time-estimation tasks in performance batteries.
    • Investigating modifications to the task or testing protocol may enhance its reliability for future applications.
