The paper concerns instruments used in the determination of task performance efficiency of mechanical and electronic maintenance men. Composite results of unvalidated knowledge tests, theory tests, school marks, and supervisors' ratings are presented which indicate that these measurement instruments have low empirical validity. The limitations of…

Valeski, Tom – 1973
In an overview of a very comprehensive and current trend in personnel training, that of a "competency-based" format, it is apparent that there exists certain and specific aspects of what perhaps constitutes a "total" program in competency-based methodology. These aspects are competency identification, competency organization, competency analysis,…

Gronbech, C. Eric – 1979
The role of the strength factor in the accomplishment of precision tasks was investigated. Forty adult males weight trained to develop physical strength in several muscle groups, particularly in the elbow flexor area. Results indicate a decrease in incidence of accuracy concurrent with an increase in muscle strength. This suggests that in order to…

Weber, Robert J. – 1968
The primary objective of the proposed research was to investigate the effects on learning of various stimulus-response (S-R) mapping schemes. It was hypothesized that S-R connections are not simply arbitrary, that the way stimulus and response classes are mapped together may have a profound effect on learning rate. To study this problem, two…
