212 pages (per the Report Documentation Page). Conversion Table. Figures. Tables. References. Appendix A to F. Cover has some wear and soiling. Mailing label information on back cover. The objectives of this study were to: (1) Induce symptoms similar to those of low level radiation exposure, (2) Assess the PDQ methodology in the context of a helicopter simulation, (3) Develop MicroSAINT models of AH-1 crew performance based on simulation data and PDQ estimates, and (4) Evaluate the relationship between Walter Reed Performance Assessment Battery (WRPAB) performance, PDQ performance estimates, and helicopter simulator task performance using MicroSAINT models of AH-1. This volume addressed the first three objectives. The PAB portion of the study was addressed in Volume II. Thus, to a large extent, Volume I can be viewed appropriately as a stand along document against the first three objectives. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of the Performance Decrement Questionnaire (PDQ) technique for prediction of radiation induced performance decrements in Army personnel. Twenty AH-1 pilots participated in an experiment in which they (1) predicted the effects of various symptom complexes on their performance, (2) went through a 36-hour protocol to induce symptoms similar to those that are followed by intermediate doses of radiation exposure, and (3) performed a simulated AH-1 mission before and after symptom induction. The particpants' performance time predictions were compared with actual performance times. The comparisons between predicted and actual performance were conducted with correlational and modeling (MicroSAINT) techniques. The modeling analysis suggested greater concordance between predicted and actual performance than did the correlational analysis.…
