Use of an Information-Processing Based Test Battery in an Applied Setting: Prediction of Monitoring Performance

Abstract

A battery of information-processing measures was developed to predict performance on a relatively complex monitoring task. It was hypothesized that Matrix Scanning and Array Memory would be related to correct responses (both correct rejections and signal detections) while the intercept of Sequential Memory would be related only to signal detection. Subjects were 32 (17 female and 15 male) students at a large mid western university. A correlational analysis partially supported the hypotheses. Matrix Scantling, Array Memory, and Sequential Memory (intercept) were differentially related to the various performance criteria.
