Harris, Wayne C., Goernert, Phillip N., Trench, Bart and Sachau, Daniel (1995): Predicting Performance Variability: The Accuracy of Vigor and Fatigue Self-Reports. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 922-925.

“The psychological factors that contribute to performance decrements were examined. Collegiate swimmers self-reported psychological moods states four days prior to competition across multiple seasons. As expected, event time decreased as the season progressed. Event times also decreased when fatigue scores decreased. Tension, Depression, Anger, Vigor, and Confusion scores were not related to meet time. The present results suggest that self-reports are a useful predictor of performance decrements under some conditions.”

Benedetto, Joanne M., Harris, Wayne C. and Goernert, Phillip N. (1995): Assessing Gender Differences and Norm Data on a Cognitive Performance Measure. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. p. 968.

“An individual's cognitive effectiveness directly effects their decision making ability, thus effecting their performance. Therefore an important aspect for assessing fitness for duty is determining cognitive effectiveness. Reeves, Winter, LaCour, Raynsfor, Vogel, and Grissett (1991) designed a cognitive assessment measure, the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics version 3 (ANAM3), for assessing fitness for duty in individuals with an intellectual functioning ranging from superior to moderately impaired. The ANAM3 battery contains eight subscales for assessing cognitive abilities. The current research collected male and female normative data for ANAM3; specifically, the number of trials required to reach the learning asymptote for each subscale. The participants all reached the learning curve asymptote by the third trial for all subscales. Additionally, across all subscales women performed better than men, four of which were significant: Memory Search (6 items), Spatial Processing, Procedural Reaction Time, Two-Choice Reaction Time. An explanation for the gender difference is provided.”

Linnerooth, Peter J., Goernert, Phillip N., Houlihan, Daniel, Harris, Wayne C., Dollar, Samuel J. and Bruner, Renden S. (1994): An Assessment of Training Methods for Complex Mechanical Assembly Skills. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. p. 981.

“Training via behavioral modeling has been widely implemented in industrial-organizational contexts. At present, however, empirical evidence regarding the characteristics of an effective model, the cost effectiveness of behavioral modeling training and the efficacy of behavioral modeling versus other training methods is lacking (Tannenbaum&Yukl, 1992). The present investigation addressed these concerns by briefly training and testing 80 college student subjects in a mechanical device assembly task. Videotape Self-Modeling (VSM) (Dowrick, 1983) Videotape Other-Modeling (VOM), Self-Directed Mental Rehearsal (SDMR) and No Training Control Group (NTCG) training methods were compared. VSM and VOM videotape training methods depicted correct, dexterous and rapid assembly task performance by self- or other models respectively. SDMR training involved the production of assembly task imagery via mental visualization from memory. Statistical analysis of assembly times indicated that the SDMR group was superior to the control group and both video modeling groups. Additionally, there was no significant difference in assembly times between the videotape and control groups. Furthermore, the advantage in assembly times by the SDMR group was maintained over a four month follow-up. It is hypothesized that the use of mental rehearsal allowed subjects to capitalize upon skills gained during successive assembly attempts. Owing to the cumbersome nature of their production, VSM and VOM training models could not be updated to depict changes in skills throughout assembly training, negating the potential advantages of their depiction of superior assembly performance.”
