The UTC-PAB/AGARD STRES Battery: User's Manual and System Documentation

This report provides test installation and administration procedures and system documentation for the UTC-PAB/AGARD STRES Battery Version 3.1. This document serves as a user's manual for the test modification of the programs. Seven standardized tests were constructed as specified by the AGARD AMP-Working Group 12. This version of the STRES battery was constructed to be compatible with the Unified Tri-Service Cognitive Performance Assessment Battery and System. An executive program allows the tests to be administered individually or as a battery. Subject data are automatically updated with each successive test run. Tests items are presented in a pseudo-random fashion for repeated-measures research designs. Accuracy and response time are recorded on an individual item basis, data files are formatted for easy transfer to a variety of statistical analysis packages, and a summary STRES battery was designed primarily for use in stress research with human subjects, but potential applications far exceed this initial purpose. This test battery should prove useful in laboratories interested in a broad spectrum of cognitive research. Performance test, test battery, human performance.
