Fleishman, Edwin A. – American Psychologist, 1975
Discusses briefly some general problems in the development of taxonomic systems applicable to descriptions of human performance and tasks, describing some alternative approaches and provisional classification schemes, and reviewing some attempts to evaluate the utility and validity of these systems. (Author/JM)

Engel, John – 1970
The standardization and evaluation of methods of performance assessment represents an important area of concern. In this paper an approach that concentrates on two critical areas and the relationship between them is discussed. These are: (1) a task classification system; and (2) a performance measure classification system. An example is presented…

Cornwell, J. B. – Training, 1978
Presents a learner feedback form that identifies specific strengths and weaknesses in an instructor's classroom techniques. Discusses the development of the form (which involved a task analysis of classroom presentation). It also explains how learners use the instrument and score interpretation. (EM)

Rummier, Geary A. – Training, 1977
Discusses performance analysis, designed for use in an organization's training program. It is described as a technology which views organization performance as a function of the individual and the job environment, in which any modification of performance has to deal with both parts. Examples of the use and benefits of performance analysis are…

Smith, Ronald E.; And Others – Social Behavior and Personality, 1976
Subjects (N=80) made expectancy of success statements in a dart throwing task under two conditions. Significant differences between criterion groups were obtained, with success statements remaining constant across difficulty levels in the relative criterion condition while declining rapidly as a function of task difficulty in the absolute…

Lintz, Larry M.; And Others – 1973
A study investigated the relationship between avionics subsystem design characteristics and training time, training cost, and job performance. A list of design variables believed to affect training and job performance was established and supplemented with personnel variables, including aptitude test scores and the amount of training and…

Cravens, David W. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1971
Empirical data obtained from an exploratory study of the task-oriented information-processing behavior of information specialists were analyzed in seeking to identify useful predictors of job performance. Implications of the study relative to selection, training, and supervision are discussed, and suggestions for further research are indicated.…

Slusher, E. Allen – Personnel Journal, 1975
Results or goal achievement measurements of a manager's performance can be achieved for management with the use of the performance appraisal process which gives a broader perspective in the management of human resources. (Author)

Foley, John P., Jr. – 1974
Formal measuring devices used to ascertain the training success and promotion potential of maintenance personnel have been deficient in the area of job realism. In part, this may be due to reliance on paper and pencil testing rather than the use of effective job performance measurements. Data concerning job performance measurements applicable to…

Federal Aviation Administration (DOT), Washington, DC. – 1974
The instruction manual provides 12 step-by-step instructions for air traffic control supervisors in conducting over-the-shoulder training observations of enroute center controllers. Since the primary purpose of the review is to quickly identify training needs and requirements, the control responsibilities are approached from a deficiency…

Wilson, Clark L.; And Others – 1971
The purpose of this manual is to help Navy division officers, petty officers, and instructors build, use, and understand practical performance tests. Methods for testing men's ability to perform practical jobs are described in order to determine what they can actually do in meeting the requirements of their ratings, billets, or school training…

Holloway, William H. – 1974
A prevailing concern of leadership development is the extent to which performance-oriented training increases the ability of an individual to define and implement a process to accomplish stated objectives. The systems approach provides an analytic strategy for task decomposition into sequentially, temporally ordered activities without necessarily…

Hoehn, Arthur J.; And Others – 1969
Four papers were presented at a conference dealing with the objectives and problems of operational context training (OCT) sponsored by HumRRO in June 1958. The first paper (by William McCleland) outlines the objectives of the conference and its general goals. The second paper (by Arthur J. Hoehn) describes the use of operational context training…

Eisen, Francine Abrams – 1974
Logical inference tasks were presented to 112 police officers. Two logical forms were employed, converse and contrapositive. Three levels of activation were identified by a Q-Sort and incorporated into the design. A third factor was also considered, four styles of negative. Results of 24 items were analyzed by means of sign tests. Converse tasks…
