INTRODUCTION

GENERAL

This document, prepared from work done under contract NAS 9-12771 andmonitored by Dr. W. E. Fedderson, presents the results of a research program todevelop objective methods for psychological assessment of crew members priorto and during long-dujration space flights.

The ultimate g9; of the research program described in this report is thedevelopment of an objective method of psychologically assessing both potentialspace flight crew candidates and their individual and group behavior duringlong-duration space flight. 'ihe long-term aim of the program is to discoverand use psychological, performance, and psychophysiological variables that canbe monitored in the course of routine mission-oriented behavior and that haveindicative and predictive values for psychosocial well-being.

Thus, the long-range research objectives are to develop and evaluateassessment methodology; to test and demonstrate this methodology in situationsas closely resembling manned space flight conditions as possible; to modify,update, and validate the methodology under situations of confinement and stress;and ultimately to evolve the assessment techniques and hardware into a systemfully compatible with both spacecraft hardware and the anticipated life styleof crew menmbers on long-duration missions. The latter is important because crewacceptance -is vi-tal- for the ultimate utility of the proposed methodology.

The selected research paradigm investigates attentional flexibility as ameans of psychological assessment (i.e. the ability to adapt rapidly thosefunctional states of attention that are appropriate for any personal, social,or mission change in orientation, process, or,task). Thus, the near-termobjective of the program is to devise tasks requiring high attentional statesand to determine the assessment power of various associate performance andpsychophysiological variables for evaluating these states of attention.

Attentional behavior was selected as an appropriate psychological processupon which to focus because alterations in attention can occur at several levelsof functioning, are detectable, and can be indicative of a wide variety offactors relevant to the well-being of individuals and groups. Psychologicalassessment methodology was developed using established relationships betweenvarious performance and psychophysiological variables and between those aspects

WORK ACCOMPLISHED

The orientation taken during this phase of work was to develop and demon-strate a hardware instrumentation system and an experimental paradigm thatcould be used to collect data in manned isolation chamber experiments. Theseisolation chamber experiments had been planned for the near future, and the

SECTION II

BACKGROUND

REVIEW OF RECENT LITERATURE

Reviews of the broad and varied subject of attentional behavior can be foundin Koster (1969) (Reference 1), Sanders (1970) (Reference 2), and Mackworth(1970) (Reference 3); in addition, Moray (1969) (Reference 4) proposed sixdifferent meanings of attention as used in psychological research. Posner andBoies (1971) (Reference 5), however, provide three general concepts or categoriesunder which most research (as well as Moray's meanings) can be categorized.These are listed below.

Alertness, or Arousal--A varying state of readiness to detect stimuliin repetitive, boring, or low-stimulus frequency tasks (such asvigilance tasks). The term also relates to level of sensitivity tostimuli during periods of preparation for receiving stimulation.Both performance measures (e.g., Mackworth, 1970) (Reference 3) andphysiological measures (e.g., N-atlnen, 1970) (Reference 6) of alert-ness provide rationale for including alertness as a component ofattention.

Selective Attention--The ability to select one kind of informationfrom another or to select one source of information from othersources. Studies of selective attention may involve sensorymodalities, location of signals, selection of responses, contentof the information in the stimulus array,.or internal templates,models, and memories of past events.

Limited Central Processing Capability--The difficulty in handling twotasks simultaneously; the delay of signals that arrive during reactiontime.

For the purpose of this review, emphasis will be placed on the first twotopics above and an additional category, Psychophysiological Factors, will beadded. This latter section is presented separately because the nature ofcertain dependent variables, and their utilization as indicative of major modesof responding on an organismic level, has received great emphasis and arousedconsiderable controversy.

Alertness, Isolation, and Clinical Factors

Fedderson and Kanas (1971) (Reference 7) reviewed the stresses of long-duration space flight and argued for improved personnel selection techniquesand better understanding of these stresses so that intervention strategiesmight be developed. Memford (1970) (Reference 8) argued for utilization ofresponses to stress as indexes for selection of personnel and presented datafrom psychological, physiological, and chemical tests.

Zubek (1970), (Reference 9) reporting on behavioral and electroencephalo-graphic changes in indi' -aia: and groups of men during 14 days in isolation,emphasized the changes :- ;.: perceptual processes.

Another recent stuff or, 'solation by Serafetinides (1971) (Reference 10)also found an ever-present progressive reduction of cortical activity in casesof sensory deprivation. It appears that this perennially consistent alterationin the EEG could be accepted as prima facie evidence of sensory deprivation.

Evidence that the effects of varied levels of sensory input represent atwo-edged sword was obtained by Zuckerman et al. (1970) (Reference 11). Utiliz-ing subjects in confinement, they produced environments designed to providehigh, normal, and low levels of arousal by manipulation of sensory variety inthe environment. Thi rdfound that anxiety and adrenocortical responses wereelevated in both the--gh arousal and low arousal situations as compared withthe control situaticonS Of the two extreme conditions, subjects preferred thehigh arousal situation to the low arousal one, which was associated withdepression. From this anV:ot ::r work (such as that of Frankenhauser et al.)(Reference 12), some approximation of the optimum level of arousal that shouldbe the design objective for space stations and other long-duration mannedsystems can be obtained.

Shapiro et al. (1970) (Reference 13) observed the effects of sensoryreduction in organs and systems not usually monitored in this type of research.They found that reduction of auditory and vestibular inputs resulted in a markedinhibition of gastric secretion.

In trying to-.tderstand t~.~ relationship of monotony to psychophysiologicalresponses, Cr-ffirnannd Kimmel (1971) (Reference 14) studied a situation in whichthe occurrence'of'' a brief 1ig'ht flash in the dark would be contingent upon theoccurrence of a galvanic skin response (GSR). They found that there wasinstrumental conditioning of the GSR under these conditions. Consequently,they argued that the occurrence of an orienting response may have a reinforcingeffect. Orienting responses are discussed subsequently.

Bohlin (1971) (Reference 15), studied the effect of monotonous stimulationon the rate of sleep onset and habituation of the orienting response. He foundthat monotonous stimulation put his subjects to sleep more quickly than nostimulation. He also found that the rate of habituation of the orientingresponse tracked the rate of sleep onset. For a comparison between boringstimulation and boring responses London, H., et al. (1972) (Reference 16)studied change in autonomic arousal during performance of boring tasks. Theyfound higher heart rates with very boring tasks and suggested a curvilinearrelationship between information rate and autonomic arousal. It is theirsuggestion that both boring, highly redundant information and low redundancy,rapidly changing situations will result in higher heart rates than will moderatelevels of information processing.

Frankenhauser, et al. (1971) (Reference 12), in studying psychophysiolog-ical reactions to understimulation and overstimulation, found that these twoconditions increased the rate of adrenaline and nonadrenaline production ascompared with controls at moderate levels of stimulation. They also found

2-2

Page 8: OBJECTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT … · final report objective techniques for psychological assessment 73 -9045 march 14, 1973 (nasa-ce-128945) objzctive techniques

that subjects who produced more adrenaline performed better in the under-stimulation condition, while subjects with less adrenaline production perfor-med better in the overstimulation condition. The same observation was madewith heart rate as the dependent variable. They interpret their data assupporting a curvilinear relationship between level of arousal and performance,with performance being optimal at moderate levels of arousal. Averill, J. R.et al. (1972) (Reference 17), in a study on complex emotional study, observedthat when subjects were shown an isolated accident scene out of context theyinvariably responded with slowing heart rates; however, if the accident scenewere shown within the context of an action film, the opposite response, heartrate acceleration, was observed.

Rathbart and Mellinger (1972) (Reference 18) studied attention andresponsivity to remote dangers and found substantial individual differences intheir population, which they characterized as fear repressors and sensitizers.

In a study along similar lines, Rice and Greenfield (1969) (Reference 19),studying the psychophysiological correlates of "LaBelle Indifference" foundthat patients who remained calm in the face of frightening and disablingimpairment showed greater physiological arousal than did control subjects.They concluded that psychological defense does not prevent arousal of covertphysiological correlates of emotion.

Schmolling and Lopidus (1972) (Reference 20), studying performance inschizophrenics, found that schizophrenics have an elevated base level ofphysiological parameters. Consequently, under stressful stimulation (in accordwith the law of initial values) little increase is seen above baseline valuesfor physiological nmeasure. They characterize these subjects as being hyper-vigilant, impaired in attending, and showing difficulty in shifting the responseset.

Little recent research has been conducted on shifts of attention or per-ception. Mackintosh and Little (1969) (Reference 21), using pigeons, haveshown that strengthening of attention to a single relevant dimension increasesthe rate of response reversal. Schell (1971) (Reference 22) in experimentswith children strongly resembling "learning set" experiments, also has shownthat learning to attend to one stimulus dimension at a time improves the shiftof attention from one stimulus dimension to another.

The rate of reversal of the Necker cube illusion was investigated byRoland (1970) (Reference 23). He found that stress, in the forms of coldpressor stimulation, increased the rate of reversal of the illusion. Heartrate also was correlated with the rate of reversal of the illusion.

Selective Attention and Performance

Typical studies within this category on sensing modality have been madeon visual and auditory signals processing by Mackintosh and Little (1969)(Reference 21) using pigeons, and by Webster and Haslerud (1964) (Reference 24)using humans. Wachtel (1967) (Reference 25) presented a survey of evidencesuggesting that attention is like a beam of light focused more or less sharply

2-3

Page 9: OBJECTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT … · final report objective techniques for psychological assessment 73 -9045 march 14, 1973 (nasa-ce-128945) objzctive techniques

on particular sources of incoming data. He suggested that a distinction can bedrawn between the narrowness of focusing at any time and the extent to whichthe beam ranges over the field of attentional opportunities. He proposed thatcharacteristic tendencies in these two respects can be regarded as facets ofpersonality varying between types of individuals. For example, highly anxiouspeople can be thought of as tending to have a narrow beam that roams widelyover the field so that their attention skips rapidly from item to item, butis intensely directed to any item on which it is actually resting. Welford(1970) (Reference 26) commented that . . ."selection seems commonly to be madein terms of attitudes and hypotheses brought to a present situation from pastexperience--we perceive what we expect to occur or along the lines of what isfamiliar. It seems clear, therefore, that selection must often be a high-gradeprocess, concerned with data which have already been processed to a substantialextent by the mechanisms of perception. This may well be true even when selec-tion appears to be made in terms of simple sensory quantities."

Classic data in support of this last statement by Welford was reported byCabanac (1971) (Reference 27) in a study of alliesthesia. In this study Cabanacdemonstrated the effect of changing physiological states on the qualities ofincoming stimuli. In his studies temperatures and gustatory and olfactorystimuli judged as pleasant under one set of physiological conditions werejudged as unpleasant under another. For example, a pleasant tasting liquidbecame too sweet for hours following ingestion of glucose.

A wide variety of experimental studies has shown that perceptual selectionis a task involving some mental activity by the observer, and the more precisethat selection must be, the longer it takes or the higher the risk of error.

Baddeley (1972) (Reference 28) suggests that it is plausible to assume thatan increase in arousal will focus the subject's attention more and more narrowlyon that aspect of the situation that is of greatest immediate importance to him.If this happens to be the task he is required to perform, then his efficiencywill be increased; if not, his performance will deteriorate until he abandonsthe task.

Fortunately, however, response to a dangerous environment may be much moreadaptive than this. Work by Epstein and Fenz (1965) (Reference 29) suggeststhat the experienced parachutist learns to inhibit anxiety since it tends todisrupt performance. They suggest that both the fear and the inhibition focuson the jump but generalize temporally both to prior and later aspects of thejumping situation, and to other stimuli associated more or less closely withjumping. If one assumes the generalization gradient associated with theinhibition of fear to be steeper than that associated with fear itself, thenthe point of maximum emotional response will tend to be displaced away fromthe danger stimulus; the greater the degree of inhibition, the farther awaywill be the displacement.

It seems then that subjects who are repeatedly exposed to a dangeroussituation can in some way learn to inhibit their anxiety and displace it awayfrom the point of maximum danger.

Considerable literature already exists on the effects of physiologicalarousal on performance, much of which suggests that they are related bya function resembi ing an inverted U; that is, as arousal increases, performanceimproves up to a maximum beyond which further increments in level of arousallead to poorer and poorer performance (Hebb, 1955 (Reference 30); Malmo, 1959,(Reference 31)). A good deal of experimental data can be accounted for in termsof the inverted-U function. One weakness is its ability to account for almostany result so long as the exact location on the inverted U of the task inquestion is not specified in advance. The situation is further complicated,however, by the fact that the peak of the inverted U occurs at quite differentlevels of arousal for different tasks (Corcoran, 1965) (Reference 32). Thisis intuitively reasonable; however, unless an objective means of assessing atask in advance is available, prediction of performance under stress becomeseven more difficult. It seems unlikely that such an assessment can be madeuntil the cause of the inverted-U relationship is known.

One possible explanation of the relationship lies in the suggestion madeby a number of workers that an increase in arousal produces a narrowing ofattention, with the subject concentrating more and more on the central featuresof the task and paying less and less attention to more peripheral ones(Easterbrook 1959, (Reference 33); Teichner 1968, (Reference 34)). Perhaps thestrongest experimental evidence for such a view comes from recent work byHockey (1970 a,b) (References 35 and 36) on the effects of loud noise on per-forniance. In one of his experiments, Hockey (1970a) (Reference 35) requiredhis subjects to perform a centrally located tracking task, while at the sametime monitoring a series of six small lights distributed on either side of thecentral task at varying distances from the center. Occasionally one of theselights would be illuminated briefly; if the subject detected this he pressed anappropriate response button. Subjects were tested both in continuous loud noiseand in quieter conditions. Overall tracking performance was significantly higherin the noise condition than in the control condition, which showed a decrementduring the session. Detection scores on the peripheral task tended to deterio-rate with increasing distance from the center,. Noise exaggerated this bias byimproving performance on the central lights at the expense of peripheral lights.When no central task was required, noise improved detection performance; thusit appears that noise does not simply impair peripheral vision.

In a subsequent experiment, Hockey (1970b) (Reference 36) showed thatsubjects missed more peripheral signals in noise because they regarded them asless probable than central signals, not simply because of their peripherallocation. A comparable result was recently reported by Cornsweet (1969)(Reference 37) who used threat of electric shock to increase level of arousal.

Although experimental results show a clear effect on breadth of attentionof stresses that may reasonably be assumed to influence the subject's level ofarousal, so far there is no direct evidence that danger will have such an effect.Evidence that this is the case comes from a study by Weltman and Egstrom (1967)(Reference 38) in which novice divers were required to perform a central taskwhile monitoring a faint peripheral light. While the central task did notaffect peripheral vigilance on the surface, during diving a distinct subgroupof the subjects emerged who showed much slower response to the peripheral lights,while showing no impairment on the central task. These subjects appeared to

be more anxious than the other subgroup, which showed no deterioration underwater, but unfortunately no objective measure of anxiety was available. Thisdefect was remedied in a subsequent study (Weltman et al., 1971) (Reference 39)in which a similar dual task was performed by naive subjects during a simulated60-ft dive in a pressure chamber. After an explanation of the potential dangersand emergency procedures, the door of the pressure chamber was bolted and arise in pressure simulated, although actual pressure did not change. Experi-mental subjects showed a clear anxiety response in terms of both increasedheart rate and subjective ratings. They also showed a clear decrement indetection of peripheral light signals but no drop in performance on the centraltask, relative to an unstressed control group.

Wachtel (1967) (Reference 25) and Moray (1969) (Reference 4) provide generalreviews of performance research in selective attention, while the review of thisarea by Howarth and Bloomfield (1971) (Reference 40) concentrates on experimentsinvolving attentional phenomena in search performance tasks. One specializedmethod of evaluating attention is shadowing performance tasks in auditoryresearch. This topical area is thoroughly reviewed by Underwood and Moray(1971) (Reference 41).

Larkin and Greenberg (1970) (Reference 42), in studying the effect ofuncertainty in presentation of auditory signals, conclude that selectiveattention may be a recognition phenomenon and not a detection phenomenon.They suggest that no amount of training should alter the detectability of asignal, but that differential experience, by practice, may enable a listenerto recognize one tone more efficiently than another.

Typical studies involving the number of stimuli presented are representedby the studies of Chuprikova (1969) (Reference 43), Teichner (1971)(Refer-ence 44), and Rabbit (1964) (Reference 45). Chuprikova found that increasingthe number of signals possible in a representation had a continuously limitingeffect on the preparedness of subjects to react. Teichner's thorough study onthe effects of the number of possible signals on reaction time and probabilityof detection found that reaction time increased as a function of the number ofpossible signals and also that the probability of detection decreased as afunction of increasing number of possible signals. Rabbit, using a sortingperformance technique, found that scanning visual displays to find certainstimuli involved the process of ignoring other stimuli. Specifically, hefound that the number of irrelevant stimuli in a display affected both thespeed and the accuracy of the sorting task.

Warm (1971) (Reference 46) investigated partial reinforcement conceptsutilizing a vigilance task. With a reaction time measure as a dependentvariable and knowledge of results as one of the independent variables, he foundthat withdrawal of knowledge of results increased reaction time, and the effectof withdrawing the knowledge of results was greater in continuous than inpartial reinforcement conditions.

Germana (1969) (Reference 47) manipulated interstimulus intervals andfound that when the interstimulus intervals were increased greater than 240msec, no habituation was found. Germana feels that this may be due to theestablishment of the stimulus arrival rate. He also observed that recall wasunaffected up to interstimulus intervals of 240 msec.

Limited Central Processing Capacity

The principal recent development in this area of attention is the studyby Allport et al. (1972) (Reference 48) disproving the ''single channel hypothe-sis" of human information processing. Their alternative hypothesis is thatattention operates as if there were a number of independent special processesoperating in panel. Each process is limited in capacity per unit time and mostprocessors may be turned to a single specific problem under conditions relatedto signal importance.

PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS

Psychophysiological concomitants of attention can be classified into twomajor categories of research: (1) those studies utilizing the electroencephalo-graph as the principal dependent variable, and (2) investigations into phenomenaassociated with the orienting reaction. Studies concentrating on the firstcategory are discussed first; however, the bulk of the discussion will focus onthe latter category.

Electroencephalographic Studies--Glaser (1963) (Reference 49) has sum-marized the correlations between EEG findings and behavior. Electroencephalo-graphic studies have been primarily centered around observations on the con-tingent negative variation or evoked potential; however, some cogent obser-vations are being made in situations involving operant conditioning or train-ing of EEG components.

Since 1960 there has been growing evidence to support the theory thatselective attention and selective perception have their neurophysiologicalbasis in blocking irrelevant sensory impulses. Thus, sensory pathways of un-attended modalities lose some degree of their capacity to transmit signals,while the attended modality may be facilitated simultaneously. N§trnen(1971) (Reference 6) produced experimental results that show nonspecificanticipatory cortical activation preceding relevant stimuli. This, he argues,is the real reason for the greater amplitudes of potentials evoked by relevantstimuli. Hillgard et al. (1971) (Reference 50) studied those evoked potentialsduring auditory signal detection and found that the detected signals evokedpotentials several times the magnitude of unevoked potentials. He also foundthat detection threshold performance was identical with concurrent electro-physiological measures of threshold.

Donald and Goff (1971) (Reference 51) reported that they have found EEGcomponents of attention related to increases in cortical responsivity anddissociated from the contingent negative variations. Gale et al. (1971)(Reference 52) utilized subjective estimates of alertness in a vigilance typetask while manipulating signal expectancy. They found EEG changes correlatedwith changes in expectancy in the task.

Subjective reports of subjects in the Garrett/AiResearch laboratory(Wortz, 1971) (Reference 53), corroborated by personal communication with otherresearchers (L. Fehmi , 1970 (Reference 54); Kamiya, 1970 (Reference 55)) In thefield concerning their findings, lend support to the hypothesis that readily

2-7

Page 13: OBJECTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT … · final report objective techniques for psychological assessment 73 -9045 march 14, 1973 (nasa-ce-128945) objzctive techniques

monitored brain wave parameters are correlated with awareness and attentionalabilities. Fehmi (1970) (Reference 54), for example, reports that the amplitudeof brain wave potentials is observed to be correlated with the way in which vis-ual stimuli are viewed. When artists were instructed to view and criticallyapprehend their field of vision, a low-voltage, fast-electroencephalographicactivity was recorded from five brain loci: midline occipital, parietal andfrontal lobes, and the right and left temporal lobes. When the oppositeinstruction was given to view the visual field with a gestalt orientation orin the attitude that would be assumed while actively engaged in painting, theelectroencephalographic activity was characterized by high-voltage, slow wavesin the alpha wave region of the frequency spectrum. A grasped, stationary, andcritically viewed attentional field was associated with low-voltage activitywhile a flowing, integrative, gestalt-like approach to the attentional field wasassociated with high voltage activity.

Gale et al. (1972) (Reference 52), in a study that failed in its mainpurpose, which was to replicate correlation between EEG, extroversion, time ofday, and performance, did find incidentally that higher voltage EEG correlateswith better signal detection. Consequently this vigilance task correlates withthe contention of Wortz and Fehmi above.

Barry and Beh (1972) (Reference 56) found that duration of the desynchroni-zation of the alpha rhythm of the EEG co-varied with the stimulus intensity,whereas the magnitude of the desynchronization did not.

Invgar (1971) (Reference 57) in a study of cerebral blood flow, arousal,and cerebral metabolism suggests that the EEG correlates of arousal anddesynchronization are correlated with an increase in cerebral blood flow. Heeven indicates that regional changes in cerebral blood flow are dependent on thetype of cortical activity at each region.

Orientation Reaction (OR) Studies--Psychophysiological studies of atten-tion also have proceeded from the direction stemming from the work of Sokolov,which is summarized in "Perception and the Conditioned Reflex," (1963) (Refer-ence 58) and reviewed by Lynn (1966) (Reference 59).

This perspective of attention is in terms of what the Russian investiga-tions denoted as the orientation--or what it is--reaction (OR). Essentially,the orientation reaction or reflex involves (behaviorally) the turning of theorganism toward the source of a novel stimulus. In addition, however, thereare a number of concomitant physiological components of this turning toward astimulus. The physiological changes include pupillary dilation; reduction ofthreshold in all sensory modalities; increased electromyographic activity;faster, lower-amplitude EEG; peripheral vasoconstriction; cephalic vasodilation;GSR; delayed respiration followed by increased amplitude and lowered frequency;and slowed heart rate. These physiological changes occur regardless of bodilymovement, and their occurrence is used to define the occurrence of an orientingreaction (OR).

Essentially, stimuli that can initiate an OR are those that have signalsignificance, i.e., are either novel, intense, complex, or incongruous; aresurprising; or produce tendencies for competing or conflicting reactions.

2-8

In addition to the OR, there are two other basic physiologic reactions ofthe same class that can occur in response to stimuli and must be distinguishedfrom the OR. These are adaptive reactions and defensive reactions. Adaptivereactions refer to responses that have homeostatic or negative feedback re-actions, e.g., vasodilation in response to thermal stress or pupillary dilationin response to decreases in illumination. The defensive reaction (DR), onthe other hand, occurs in response to very intense or threatening stimuli andis essentially the startle reaction, which includes eye blink, cephalic vaso-constriction (instead of the cephalic vasodilation seen in the OR), and heartrate acceleration.

The other components of the OR occur in the DR without variance from theOR pattern. In addition to cephalic vasoconstriction and heart rate accelera-tion, another important difference between the OR and DR is that stimuli thatwill produce an OR will eventually habituate, and the OR will disappear. Thisis apparently not the case with the DR; it does not habituate. AlthoughWortz (1967, 1968, and 1969) (References 60, 61, and 62) has found evidence thatupon repeated stimulation this response can develop from a DR into an OR, itis suggested by Wortz (1968) (Reference 61) that high-stimulus intensities justbelow the DR threshold may at times evoke the DR if the general health or copingmechanisms of the organisms deteriorate.

The classic representation of the relationship of the OR and DR in termsof numbers of stimulus presentations and the intensity of the stimulationis reproduced from Sokolov (1963) (Reference 58) and shown in Figure 2-1. Thisrepresentation, showing that a constant intensity and tendency is to move froman OR to a DR with increasing number of stimulations, is contrary to theobservations of Wortz who observed habituation of the DR evolving into an ORwith cutaneous shock. The source of this discrepancy may be due to thetype of stimuli employed or to levels of arousal. Sokolov observed the DRas a simple reflex and employed repetitions of a simple stimulus of fixedintensity, while Wortz observed a conditioned reflex response to a repetitionof stimulus of fixed intensity.

It is apparent, however, that certain factors may vary the OR/DR thresholdfor a given stimulus intensity. It is suggested that psychophysiologicalconsequences of presentation of stimuli near this threshold, for a given personand in terms of whether an OR or DR is elicited, may be indicative of funda-mental aspects of the perceptual coping mechanisms of that person.

A recent study by Gogan (1970) (Reference 63) measuring psychophysiologicalresponse to forces of different intensity provide data that tend to correlatewith the previously described studies. One of Gogan's principal observationsis a correlation between EMG components of the DR and EEG characteristics atthe time of presentation of the signal stimulus (Figure 2-2). His data showthat at slower EEG frequencies, the magnitude of the elicited startle responseis lower. It can be argued from this data and that of Pilsbury and Meyerowitz(Reference 64) that for stimuli of moderately high intensities, field-dependentindividuals are more likely to produce a DR than field-independent subjects.Consequently, if disease does operate to alter the distribution of attentionfor exteroception, it can be hypothesized that this shift will be reflected in.the mechanisms of the orienting and defensive reactions.

Specifically, it i.2-- ' - t the most fruitful phenomena to investigatein this regard are the -- in the threshold region between the OR andDR. Thus it is hypothej< [ t the OR/DR threshold will vary with attentionalload, decreasing as atteTl2iona4I load is increased.

Raskin et al. (1969) (Reference 65) studied cephalic vasomotor and heartrate measures of the OR utilizing 80- and 120-db white noise signals. Theyalways found cephalic vasoconstriction (as measured by forehead blood contentor forehead pulse amplitude) to the stimulus, whereas heart rate differentiatedbetween the two intensities. Heart rate deceleration occurred in conjunctionwith the 80-db stimulus while heart rate acceleration occurred with the 120-dbsignal. -

Keefe (1970) (ReL.rence 66) utilized a 1000-Hz tone at 70 db, and observeda biphasic forehead p_-ise response that he interpreted as vasodilation followedby vasoconstriction. The magnitude of vasomotor response was found to be relatedto the prestimulus level, .,hich corresponds to the law of initial values. Healso observed that heart rate acceleration was associated with head pulsecons t riction.

Fantalova (1970) (Reference 67) used a 1000-Hz tone stimulus and rheographyfor pulse volume measurements in an attempt to measure organ volumes as aconsequence of the OR. He concluded that rheography could be used to detect thetime of pulse arrival, but not organ volume.

In a study of procedural aspects of research on the OR, Gliner et al. (1971)(Reference 68) fo-';d that alter.:ions in order of stimulus presentation canproduce orienting r5actions..

Just as important as the occurrence of the OR, if not more so, is therate of habituation of this response. Gabriel and Ball (1970) (Reference 69),utilizing tactile stimuli, found that the OR magnitude would increase as thenovelty of a stimulus increased. They also found a spread of OR habituationeffect from a principal finger (which was stinfulated) to adjacent fingers.Beideman and Sterm (1971) (Reference 70) found that the occurrence of theorienting response observed at the start of a signal and the terminal orientingresponse (TOR) observed at the cessation of a signal are related to the contentand duration of the stimulus. Essentially, they observed that the OR and TORhabituate in the same manner. The idea is that each successive stimulus providesless information; therefore, the novelty diminishes and consequently both ORand TOR diminish. They observed that the TOR habituates at a faster ratethan the OR, presumably because after the onset of a signal its termination ismore predictable than the stimulus onset. This determinability of the timingbetween signals also was studied by Germana (1969) (Reference 47), who manipu-lated the interstimulus interval. He found that as the interstimulus intervalincreased, the rate of habituation decreased.

Maltzman et al. (1971) (Reference 71) found that stress slowed the rate ofhabituation of the OR. In a unique set of experiments they found that under-graduates in a first experimental stress situation habituated more slowly thanin a second situation, while graduate students habituated more rapidly in a

first experimental situation than they did in a second situation just prior totaking a stressful examination. This second paradigm (with the stress in aseparate area of the subject's life and affecting the rate of OR habituation)is relevant to the proposed research.

Coles et al. (1971) (Reference 72) investigated personality factors andthe OR, and suggested that neuroticism is positively resulted to the magnitudeof the OR.

Lacey and Lacey (1964) (Reference 73) reported on cardiac deceleration ina simple visual reaction time experiment. They found cardiac deceleration toa warning stimulus and cardiac acceleration to the reaction time signal stimulus.These observations were confirmed by Graham and Clifton (1966) (Reference 74),who, in addition to the heart rate deceleration to the warning stimulus,observed acceleration both before and after the response.

While studying vigilance tasks, Kibler (1967) (Reference 75) found acorrelation between the signal detection efficiency and the magnitude of thecardiac deceleration.

The relationship between heart rate and signal stimuli was further exploredby Coles et al. (1972) (Reference 76). They also found that a warning signalproduced heart rate deceleration and that the signal stimulus produced heartrate acceleration. When they instructed their subjects not to respond to thesignal stimulus, the heart rate still accelerated, but at a lower rate thanwhen a response was required. They suggested classifying stimuli as imperativeor warning, based on the direction of the change in heart rate.

In linking the cardiac components of the orienting and defensive reflexesto vascular components, Hare (1972) (Reference 77) found that heart ratedeceleration was accompanied by cephalic vasodilation while heart rateacceleration was accompanied by cephalic vasoconstriction. Thus, although hereplicated the Sokolov model, he made his observation by separating his subjectsinto types based on their heart rate responses to anxiety-arousing accidentscenes. He suggested that the classic patterns of cardiovascular activityoccur in only some subjects and only under some conditions and that they may beobscured by undifferentiated group data.

Hare defined his optimal grouping of subjects as accelerators, decelerators,and medium decelerators.

In an earlier report Hare et al. (1971) (Reference 78) reported on auto-nomic responses to effective visual stimulation consisting of female figures,homicides, and ordinary objects. They found the largest heart rate decelerationin women shown slides of nude females and the largest vasomotor response inwomen shown slides of homicides. The converse was true for male subjects.

Carrol (1971) (Reference 79), using effective visual stimuli to studyforehead vasomotor responses, found an initial decrease in forehead pulseamplitude to all stimuli, followed by an elevation in amplitude above thebaseline level across a period of 15 seconds.

2-12

Wilkinson et al. (1972) (Reference 80) added confusion to this area ofstudy by finding that different psychological measures differ in reflectingapparent arousal. In studying performance and arousal as a function of incen-tive, information load, and task novelty, he found that pulse volume respondedto changes in task difficulty while pulse rate responded to incentive.

Zeiner and Schell (1971) (Reference 81), using skin resistance as a param-eter, found faster learning and higher orienting responses to innocuous stimulithan to noxious stimuli. They suggested that the response to these two classesof stimuli may involve different physiological processes.

COGNITIVE PROCESSES

In an important paper, Kreitler and Kreitler (1972) (Reference 82) relatethe orienting response to cognitive process, i.e., processes involved in theproduction of meaning. Their contention is that cognitive processes allow abetter understanding and more precise prediction of human behavior than othervariables. They introduce the concept of cognitive orientation to suggest thecognitive nature of the orienting process. Their primary assumptions are that(a) attempt to achieve cognitive orientation (C.O.) is a primary tendency,(b) human behavior is altered by cognitive orientation, and (c) informationabout C.O. allows the prediction of the course of ensuing behavior.

A few definitions are required in order to prepare for a brief descriptionof this model and its relationship both to the work previously cited and to thework evolving under this contractual program. These definitions are fairly wellevolved in the paper by Kreitler and Kreitler and their derivations will not bereiterated here.

First is the idea of meaning dimensions (13 lexical and 10 symbolic dimen-sions are evolved on the basis of experimental data), which are the rules forthe categorizing process that is applied to input stimuli. These rules func-tion as an "address" to direct scanning and matching to neuronal models.Denotive meaning is then the result of a match between input stimulus and theneuronal model. The term "meaning action" is applied to this selection,retrieval, and matching process. The role of meaning action then is to estab-lish meaning values of a kind that enables a defensive reaction (DR), a condi-tioned response (CR), and an unconditioned response (UR) or an adaptive response(AR) to be elicited. lf meaning action, fails, i.e. none of the above isobtained, an orienting response (OR) is released. Sufficiency of a denotivemeaning then is the habituation of the OR and the elicitation of an AR, CR, DRor UR (UR other than the OR)

When the elicited response is insufficient, the molar behavior is mobilized.This occurs when:

(a) In spite of the OR, no new information about the stimulus object isachieved and the information available is inadequate for a denotativemeaning.

(b) Denotative meaning was established and a CR was produced, but thatmethod of coping was inadequate.

(c) The pattern of denotative meaning includes a value that expressesthe requirement for molar behavior.

The meaning dimensions most likely involved in determination of denotativemeaning are the lexical dimensions of sensory qualities, contextual allocation,similarity and contrast, and potentialities for action. Evidence that theapplication of these meaning dimensions for stimulus recognition are simultan-eous are provided by Allport et al. (1972) (Reference 48) and Neisser (1967)(Reference 83).

Although the theoretical paper by the Kreitlers is developed toward theidea of being able to predict behavior from beliefs and belief clusters, (andsome evidence is provided for this contention), the relevant point for thisproject is the interrelationship of OR's and cognitive processes.

SECTION III

METHOD

EXPERIMENTAL PARADIGM

The independent variables selected for this experiment were (1) task and(2) auditory stimulus probe variables. The task variables built into theapparatus are (1) type of signal detection task (task difficulty), (2) timeallowed to complete the task, (3) the inclusion of a reaction time task alongwith the signal detection task, and (4) the reaction time task alone. Theauditory stimulus probe variable was the intensity of the auditory signal(variable in 2 db increments from 60 to 120 db).

The independent variables actually used in the pilot testing were taskdifficulty, inclusion or exclusion of the auditory probe reaction time task,and the intensity of the auditory stimulus. Ten middle-aged male professionalengineers were selected as subjects for the pilot study.

The physiological-dependent variables were direction and magnitude ofheart rate changes, finger pulse volume changes, ear pulse volume changes, andrheoencephalograph pulse changes. The performance-dependent variables weretask completion, number of errors, and reaction times.

The subjects were instrumented and seated in front of a video console andkeyboard (Figures 3-1 and 3-2). The subjects were informed that a 40- by 40-character alphanumeric matrix would be displayed periodically on the videoscreen, together with instructions for the task. The alternative sets ofinstructions were to (1) count the occurrence of a given character,-e.g. theletter r, (2) count the number of vowels; and (3) count the occurrence of aninclusive set, e.g. h through 1. The subject was informed of the time allowedfor the task at hand, e.g. 99 seconds, also displayed on the video screen.The subject was instructed to strive for speed as well as accuracy and wasadvised he would be scored in terms of both errors and time to complete thetask. In addition the subject was informed that periodically a tone would beinitiated in his earphones and when this occurred, he should respond as quicklyas possible to eliminate the tone signal by pushing the "interrupt" button onhis keyboard.

The different tasks are presented to the subject consecutively with a120-second rest period between each task. The probe stimulus problem is pre-sented randomly and at random db levels at the discretion of the experimenter.

INSTRUMENTATION

Discussion of System Design

The psychological assessment (PA) signal conditioner provides interfacingbetween a test subject and a digital computer. The PA signal conditioneraccepts input signals from biosensors located on the test subject's body,amplifies these signals, provides level shifting and level detecting functions,and then conditions the signals for output to a digital computer. The param-eters conditioned in this manner are: electrocardiogram (ECG), rheoencephalo-gram (REG), finger plethysmogram (PG), and ear lobe plethysmogram (EPG). Alsoincluded in the PA signal conditioner is an audio response stimulator circuit,used to determine the subject's reaction time and to discriminate betweenorienting and defensive reactions. The subject's physiological reactions arepicked up via sensors, conditioned by the signal conditioner unit, thenrecorded and analyzed by the digital computer to determine the subject'spsychological condition. A block diagram of the signal conditioning systemis shown in Figure 3-3. Because of the complexity of the system, the designdiscussion will be handled separately for each subsystem. The subsystems tobe discussed are

Electrocardiograph (ECG)

Rheoencephalograph (REG)

Plethysmograph (PG and EPG)

Audio response stimulator

Electrocardiogram (ECG)--The electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors, when placedon the subject's sternum in a trans-thoracic manner, pick up the electricalactivity of the heart. This electrical activity indicates heart rate, bloodpressure, and heart volume changes. This program is interested only in theheart rate signal. In a typical heart rate signal waveform (ECG) the peakvolume at the "R" point has a level of one to two millivolts, depending on thetype of sensors used and their placement on the subject. The period between"R" peaks can vary from 1-1/2 sec to 1/2 sec, which corresponds to a heartrate variation of 40 beats/min to 120 beats/min.

The sensors used are silver/silver "floating" biodes, which are held inplace with double-sided tape, and make electrical contact to the skin througha liquid medium (biogel) produced especially for this purpose.

The differential voltage level at the output of the ECG sensors rangesfrom 0.1 to 2 mv peak, while the common mode voltages range from 10 to 100 mvpeak. For this reason a differential amplifier with high common-mode rejection(CMR) is required for this subsystem. Drawing LSK 36170 in Appendix C showsthat the ECG amplifier consists of three operational amplifier units. The in-put stage consists of two operational amplifiers (op amps) connected in a highCMR common-feedback configuration. This circuit uses the op amps as noninvert-ing stages. In this mode the input impedance at the positive input terminal

is greater than 10 meg. The feedback for this first stage uses a common re-sistor (R3) to determine the stage gain, and provides maximum CMR by matchingthe gains of the two input op amps. The third op amp is used both as a dif-ferential to a single-ended converter stage and as a gain stage. This stage iscapacitor-coupled to the first stage to help eliminate baseline (zero) shiftdue to poor sensor/subject connections. The output of this amplifier is routedto an analog output terminal, and to the PG-ECG-REG level comparator board.This comparator board accepts the ECG analog signal, compares it to an adjust-able level, and then uses the square wave obtained from the level comparator totrigger an integrated flip-flop. This flip-flop opens a gate allowing clockpulses coming from the digital computer to flow into a pulse totalizer unit.This flip-flop is reset by a signal generated by the REG/PG amplifiers, thusstopping the flow of clock pulses. The number of pulses that have been accumu-lated within the pulse totalizer unit is proportional to the time differencebetween an ECG pulse and a REG/PG pulse. This time difference data is used bythe digital computer to help determine the physiological state of the subject.

Rheoencephalograph (REG)--The reheoencephalogram (REG) is a measure ofthe fluctuation in cerebral tissue impedance due to blood flow pulsations.The sensors used are the same as for the ECG measurement ("floating" biodes).In use, the patient constitutes the unknown arm of a balanced wheatstonebridge, which is excited by a 10- to 50-KHz sine-wave signal. The ac outputof the bridge is detected and amplified to yield a 0- to 2-volt peak outputsignal for a 0- to 5-percent change in cerebral impedance. The REG signal hasthe waveform shown in Figure 3-4a. The period of this signal ranges from 1/2to 1/3 sec.

The REG signal is preconditioned by a commercial signal conditioning unit,a biocom impedance converter (BK). The output of this unit is a 0- to ±+2-vsignal. The signal is routed from the BK to the REG amplifier card (Drawing LSK36175 in Appendix C).

In this circuit, the first stage (Zl) is, connected as a unity gain dif-ferential amplifier. This is done to avoid ground loops that may occur betweenthe PA signal conditioner and BK unit. The output of this first stage isapplied to a level comparator stage (Z2). This stage compares the REG signalto an adjustable dc level; the square wave thus produced is routed to theREG-ECG-PG comparator card, where it is used to trigger an integrated flip-flop. This flip-flop, which is set by the ECG pulse and reset by the REGpulse, gates a clock signal that is used to calculate the time differencebetween the ECG and REG pulses.

Finger Plethysmograph (PG) and Ear Lobe Plethysmograph (EPG)--Theplethysmograph sensors (PG and EPG) are used to measure blood volume change ata specific point on the body. A finger sensor and an ear lobe sensor areemployed for this test. Both of these sensors operate by measuring the amountof a specific wavelength of light (7350A) that is abosrbed by the organ beingmonitored. The light is generated by a small light source and is conducted bythe skin of the subject to a nearby photocell. The photocell produces aresistance change proportional to the amount of light falling on it. Thephotocell is connected into a bridge circuit that translates the resistance

change into a voltage signal (see Drawing LSK 36174 in Appendix C for more de-tails on this bridge circuit; see Figure 3-4b for details on the PG signalwaveform). The voltage signals are then routed to the PG and EPG amplifiercards (Drawings LSK 36172 and 36173 in Appendix C). These cards consist of adifferential input stage with a gain of 20, a second ac-coupled stage with avariable gain of 1/2 to 6, and a comparator stage that compares the analog sig-nal level with an adjustable dc level. The square wave produced by this compara-tor stage is used to gate a flip-flop, thus allowing a series of clock pulses topass into a pulse totalizer unit. The total number of pulses counted at the endof a cycle is proportional to the time between an ECG pulse and a PG pulse. Thistime difference is used by the digital computer to help determine the subject'spsychological state.

Audio Response Simulator (Drawing LSK 36179 in Appendix C)--The audioresponse simulator generates a variable level tone that is used to test thesubject's concentration and reaction time. The audio level is programmed bythe digital computer using seven binary bits of information. These bits areapplied to the input of a digital-to-analog converter (D/A). The output ofthis D/A converter is a 0- to 10-vdc level. This signal is applied to thesecond stage, which performs level shifting and scaling on the D/A signal.The output of the second stage is then applied to the X input of a multiplier.The Y input of the multiplier is fed from a sine wave oscillator located on aPC card (Drawing LSK 36180 in Appendix C). The multiplier is used here as alinear amplitude modulator and provides an output level proportional to thedigital binary number input to the D/A converter.

The controlled level output from the multiplier is then applied to theaudio drive card (Drawing LSK 36180) where it is amplified sufficiently todrive a set of stereo headphones. The final output sound level is programcontrollable from 60 to 110 db by the digital computer system. The frequencyof the tone also is manually variable using a control on the front panel ofthe PA signal conditioner package. The frequency range is 1 to 8 KHz. Duringtesting this control is set for maximum subject annoyance.

Additional system schematics are shown in Appendix C (Drawings LSK 36170,36171, 36176, 36168, 36169, and 36211.

Method of Operation

The method of operation for the PA signal conditioner is broken down intothe following step-by-step procedure:

STEP 1

Plug the PA signal conditioner unit into a 115-v, 60-Hz power outlet.Connect the cable from the PA unit to the digital computer. Connect the ECT,PG, EPG, and BK cables to the PA unit inputs. Connect the REG sensors to theinputs of the BK unit.

STEP 2

Turn on the signal conditioner and allow the unit to warm up while pro-ceeding to Step 3.

Page 28: OBJECTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT … · final report objective techniques for psychological assessment 73 -9045 march 14, 1973 (nasa-ce-128945) objzctive techniques

STEP 3

Connect the ECG, REG, PG, and EPG sensors to the subject under test.Procedures for each sensor follow:

1. ECG Sensors--There are three silver/silver biodes used for the ECGinput. The + and - biodes and the reference biode are applied tothe sternum (see Figure 3-5a). The procedure for applying eachbiode follows:

(a) Using alcohol, clean the subject's skin in the area to whichthe biode will be applied. A slight abrasion of the skin usingbiobrade pads will remove the dry outer layer and thus lowerthe skin resistance.

(b) Remove the double-sided adhesive washer (biocom 1080B) from thewax paper backing, leaving the top wax paper washer in place.

(c) Center the hole in the adhesive washer over the cavity in thebiode and press the adhesive washer to the biode face.

(d) Fill the biode cavity with biogel. Be sure that no voids orair bubbles are left in the gel during this process. Thecavity should be slightly over-filled. The excess can then beremoved using a stiff, straight edge (heavy paper, knife edge,etc.).

(e) Remove the wax paper washer and gently press the biode andwasher in place.

NOTE: Be sure to clean the silver/silver biodes withalcohol after each usage.

2. REG Sensors--The REG sensors.consist of two biodes, and are attachedusing the same procedure as described for the ECG sensors. The place-ment on the subject is shown in Figures 3-5a and b and 3-6.

3. PG Sensors--The finger PG sensor is simply slipped over the subject'sfinger, with the ball of the forefinger resting over the photocellcutout. The spring-and-cork assembly is then put in place to helphold the finger over the photocel and light source cutouts. SeeFigure 3-7a and 3-8 for details.

STEP 4

Place stereo headphones on subject, ensuring that the level controlslocated on each headphone are full on. See Figures 3-7b and 3-8 for details.

STEP 5

Turn on the BK and balance the unit using the procedure outlined below:

1. Turn master switch to "BATT. TEST" position. Note that the meter

reads in the green area.

2. Turn the master switch to "AC SHORT" position.

3. Turn "BALANCE"'' control until meter reads in the green area of the

scale.

4. Turn "GAIN" control fully clockwise.

STEP 6

Set the trigger level controls located on the front of the PA conditionerunit so that the (LED) indicators are located under each level control flash ata constant rate. A constant flashing rate indicates that the trigger circuit

is set to the proper level for consistent data output.

Turning the level control clockwise from mid-travel gives an increasingpositive trigger level; counterclockwise from mid-travel gives an increasing

negative level.

STEP 7

Set the audio simulator frequency control, located on the right side ofthe PA conditioner's front panel, to the desired frequency. The PA signal

conditioning system is now ready for use.

Method of Calibration

The PA signal conditioner has only one circuit that requires calibration.

This is the audio response simulator. For this circuit the audio sound level

should be calibrated for a range of 60 to 110 db. To aid in this calibrationa B&D "Artificial Ear", model 4153, was acquired.

To calibrate the sound response system the following equipment is needed:

Dc power supply (+5V at 100 ma)

Artificial ear (B&K model 4153)

Headphones (part of PA unit)

1/2-in. microphone cartridge (B&K model 4134)

3-14

Page 34: OBJECTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT … · final report objective techniques for psychological assessment 73 -9045 march 14, 1973 (nasa-ce-128945) objzctive techniques

Cathode follower (B&K model 2615)

Sound level meter (B&K model 2203)

Octave filter set (B&K model 1613)

The method of calibrating the audio response system is broken down intothe following step-by-step procedure:

STEP 1

1. Plug PA signal conditioner into 115-v 60-Hz power line

2. Turn on power and allow a 5-min warmup period

3. Plug stereo headphones into PA signal conditioner audio output jack(located on front panel)

4. Make sure both level controls on headphones are full on

5. Set up the B&K equipment per instruction manual BB4153

STEP 2

Short together pins F, P, C, D, R, V, U, and K on the computer inputconnector (connector located on lower right of PA front panel).

STEP 3

Apply 5 vdc on pins F (neg) and J (pos).

STEP 4

Adjust TRIM pot R8 located on th& rear'edge of Card 9 (green ejectorcode), so that a level of +40 db is indicated on the B&K sound level meter.The frequency control should be set at mid-travel for this step.

STEP 5

Short together pins P, C, D, R, V, U, and K on the computer input con-nector and then connect this bus to the 5-vdc positive supply line.

STEP 6

The sound should now be adjusted to +100 db using TRIM pot R8 on Card 9.This sets the full-scale sound level. The lower limit can now be checked usingStep 2 to determine the total range of the audio response simulator, whichshould be about 45 db.

The unit is now calibrated for use.

COMPUTER PROGRAM

The computer consists of a Texas Instrument (T.I.) 960 control computer

with 8000 16-bit words of core memory and several standard input/output inter-

face cards, including one that interfaces to a teletypewriter ASR 33 (TTY)

typewriter with paper tape reader and punch, and one that interfaces with a

Lear Siegler 7700 interactive display terminal. The TTY is the primary input/

output device to all T.I. 960 software and the display terminal is attached

specifically for this particular use of the computer.

Other interface cards consist of an interval timer with 1 msec resolution,

a pulse accumulator, and a digital input and digital output card that allows

16 binary bits of information to communicate to the computer in each direction.

Seven bits of the digital output interface are attached to an AiResearch-

manufactured audio generator and two other bits are used as test information

recorded on a strip chart recorder. The interval timer measures reaction times

of the test subject and determines the duration of each test section. The

pulse accumulator is not used at present; however, it is designed to be used

to calculate parameters based on measurements made on the test subject. The

intended use of this device would require additional storage or a high-speed

output device.

The present purpose of the Texas Instrument computer is two-fold. The

main objective is to display a game on the cathode ray tube (CRT) of the Lear

Siegler 7700. This game is to be played by the subject while under test. The

second objective is to apply a stressing audio signal to the test subject and

measure his response time to the signal.

At present, three types of games may be played to count the occurrence of

(1) a character; (2) characters between limits, either numbers between two

other numbers with a maximum spread of 5, or letters between two other letters

with a maximum spread of 4; (3) vowels. In each game the test subject counts

the occurrence of a character or characters within a 20-by-20 matrix of char-

acters displayed on the CRT screen. The rules of the game along with the time

limit allowed also are displayed on the screen. The computer calculates the

correct result, the test subject enters his result through the keyboard of the

CRT, and these two results are printed on the TTY. These games are displayed

for a fixed period of time (1-999 sec) that is determined before the start of

the game. If at the end of this time the test subject has not responded with

his answer, the computer designates his answer to be zero, erases the CRT

screen, and prints the results. Provision has been made to enter a different

period of time for display of the matrix and the rules but the present computer

program does not utilize these times.

Throughout the duration of these games the secondary objective of the

computer is attained. A background audio signal is applied to the test subject

through earphones attached to the audio generator. At random intervals through-

out the game (from 2 to 32 sec), a stressing tone of variable volume is applied

to the subject. This tone is terminated when the test subject depresses the

interrupt key on the CRT keyboard. The length of time taken by the test sub-

ject tp terminate the tone is logged by the computer. These times, in

3 -24

Page 44: OBJECTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT … · final report objective techniques for psychological assessment 73 -9045 march 14, 1973 (nasa-ce-128945) objzctive techniques

hundredths of a second, are displayed on the TTY at the end of each game. Thebackground tone volume may be set at the beginning of a game or series ofgames through the TTY keyboard. This audio level is then transmitted to thedigital output card as a seven-bit binary number (0-127).

The computer program is written to allow the test conductor to enter varioustest options, such as game duration, the volume of the background audio signal,the 20-by-20 character matrix, the type and number of games to be played, andthe start of these games. These options are entered by depressing one ofseveral keys on the TTY keyboard. The format of the options and the parti-cular key that initiates the option are described in Appendix A. When thecomputer program is initially loaded into the computer there is a default con-dition for the duration of the game and the audio signal. The matrix of char-acters and the game type must be entered before execution of a game.

The computer program, Appendix B, is so written that other optionsand other games may be added easily to the existing code. The program iswritten entirely in SAL/960 code, the assembler language of the TI 960, andoperates on a stand-alone basis. The program is loaded into the computer undersupervision of the programming supervisor monitor (PSM); however, when executionof the program is initiated, the addresses of the internal and communicationsregister unit interrupt servicing routines are modified.

Every presentation of the alphanumeric matrix was randomized, as was thetemporal interval between occurrences of the probe stimulus. The probe stimuluswas presented in four intensities: 90, 100, 110, and 120 db. The amplitudesetting of each probe stimulus also was determined randomly.

Data were collected on the reaction time and character count on the per-formance tasks for all the subjects. These two figures, together with the cor-rect character count, were printed out on the teletype.

Table 4-1 -res.-=-Q-L mean reaction time data for each subject by thetype of task arm. thZ--- T-,l2 tests (note there is no reaction time data forTest Set 4). -

Table 4-2 presents the ratio of each subject's character count to theactual character count on the signal detection task by the type of task and thetest set.

The following parameters were recorded in analog fashion as a strip chart:

Channel 1--Time, seconds

Channel 2--ECG, beat to beat4s

Channel 5--REG, beat to beat and pulse amplitude

Channel 4--FPG, beat to beat and pulse amplitude

Channel 5--EPG, beat to beat and pulse amplitude

Channel 6--Probe stimulus, amplitude (arbitrary scale)

Channel 7--Probe stimulus, occurrence; event

Channel 8--Test time, start and stop events

Channel 9--Heart rate, analog calibrated?

A typical examp-ie:` the'analog record is shown in Figure 4-1.

Inspection of this figure reveals that, for example, changes in heart rateare most pronounced in the intervals between tests, when the set of instructionsis presented for the next test.

Individual pulses and changes in pulse amplitude can be seen in the REG,FDG, and EPG traces. In addition, differences in timing are discernible amongeach of them and between the ECG.

Performance became asymptotic after the first series of twelve tests, asshown by the plot of correct responses and reaction time (Figure 4-2). Perform-ance stabilized at an average of approximately 75 percent correct and reactiontime stabilized around 450 milliseconds. The effect of the reaction time/probestimulus task on performance is evident in the fourth test set point, where theaverage percentage correct performance moves up to 85 percent when the probestimulus is eliminated.

Figure 4-3 shows the average reaction time for all subjects as a functionof the number of trials. This curve is slightly smoothed by employing a runningaverage of three tests per point. It is apparent that reaction time becameasymptotic at about the end of the first test set of 12 tests.

In Figure 4-4, the effects of the different performance tasks are separatedout by task, with the data averaged for each of the four sets. It is apparentthat better performance, in terms of correct responses, is achieved under Task Iconditions than for Tasks II and Ill. The difference between Task I and theother two tasks is considerably lessened when the probe stimulus/reaction timetask requirement is removed from the test situation.

Figure 4-5, which presents a plot of the average time required to completethe tasks, shows that task time for a given task remains relatively constantacross the four sets of 12 tests. The tasks separate in terms of apparent dif-ficulty in the same way as in the previous figure, with Task I clearly takingless time.

The relationship between performance on the signal detection and reactiontime tasks is plotted in Figure 4-6. Most noteworthy is the fact that signaldetection and reaction time performance improve together. The separation oftask effects on the joint plot of these two variables is also pronounced. Whenreaction time is related to task time (Figure 4-7), there appears to be littleor no interaction between them.

Figure 4-8 relates performance to task duration by each of the task types.Little change is seen in this relationship as a consequence of experience inthe test situation. The removal of the probe stimulus task, however, signifi-cantly alters the relationship between these two variables, which suggests thatthis relationship may be sensitive to further alterations in the subject/tasksituation.

Table 4-3 presents a matrix of the average heart rate throughout eachtest for the various test conditions. Generally the average heart ratedecreased with experience; however, the average rate increased with the fourthtest set for each of the tasks. This may be due in part to the novelty of thefourth test set (no probe stimulus).

Table 4-4 presents a matrix of the average end-of-test (last 5 seconds)heart rate by task type. The relationship among the end-of-test average valuesfor heart rate is similar to that observed for the average heart rates.

The plots of heart rate variability are shown in terms of changes in heartrate greater than 2 beats/minute in any five-second period plotted in terms of(1) sets of 12 tests (Figure 4-9); (2) performance (Figure 4-10); and (3) reac-tion time (Figure 4-11). Generally it appears that heart rate variability isreduced for difficult tasks and increased for an easy task as a function ofexperience with the task. It is, however, apparent that heart rate variabilityis inversely related to task difficulty. When this dependent variable is con-sidered together with correct responding (Figure 4-10), little if any relation-ship is suggested. There does, however, seem to be an inverse relationshipbetween heart rate change and reaction time (Figure 4-11). This relationshipis confounded with the task variable, as might be expected from Figure 4-9.

The heart rate at the end of the test period (last five seconds) appearsto be related to both '-.-m4ance (Figure 4-12) and reaction time (Figure 4-13).Generally, end-of-tes : ;-,rate is lower with both improved performance andimproved reaction tin-> -.

Figure 4-14 shows the percentages of the probe stimulus events that werefollowed by a change in heart rate greater than 2 beats/minute within 5 secondsfollowing the probe stimulus. Clear separation of the data by tasks is shown inthis figure. It appears that the probability of the probe stimulus causing achange in heart rate decreases as the difficulty of the task increases. Theamount of experience in the situation seems to have little effect.

Figure 4-15 illustrates this same parameter separated by direction of thechange in heart rati With the easy task (Task I), the heart rate accelerationand deceleration ap-ar equally probable. As both task difficulty and experi-ence increase, the -pparent probability of heart rate acceleration increasesover that of heart rate deceleration.

Figure 4-16 shows these same dependent variables as a function of the inten-sity of the probe stimulus. Again, for the easy task, the probability of heartrate acceleration and deceleration are quite similar; however, as both task dif-ficulty and probe stimulus intensity increase, the probability of heart rateacceleration increases over the probability of heart rate deceleration.

SECTION V

SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The specific goal of the program described in this report was to

initiate by literature review and pilot study, a program that eventually

would result in a psychological assessment technique for assessing objec-

tively the major aspects of the psychological state of an astronaut. This

objective assessment must meet the following criteria:

(a) The method used in the assessment technique must elucidate

appropriate methods of medical intervention when necessary.

(b) The method must be fully compatible with currently acceptedspace flight practices, values, and procedures.

(c) The method must be applicable to the assessment of potentialspace flight crew members.

(d) The assessment must be on a total organismic level.

(e) The method must be applicable to the assessment of both indi-viduals and groups.

In general, this phase achieved direction for the program and evaluated

the general trend of the recommended approach. Major specific accomplish-ments were:

(a) Substantive review of the relevant research.

(b) Selection of appropriate methods and techniques for application.

(c) The method selected simultaneously observed the effects ofsituational variables on performance, physiology, and psycho-physiological dependent variables.

(d) Selection of an experimental paradigm to evaluate the proposedmethods (visual and auditory signal detection in the face ofvisual and auditory noise, under time pressure, competitionpressure, and with periodic distracting probe stimuli).

(e) Selection of simultaneously observed physiological, task per-formance, threshold, and psychophysiological dependent variables.

(f) Development of apparatus, instrumentation, computer programs,

test procedures, and data reduction techniques to evaluate therecommended approach.

(g) Performance of pilot studies.

The more important observations made during the pilot study were:

(a) The performance tasks selected differed in difficulty in terms ofcorrect performance, reaction time, end-of-test heart rate, tasktime, and heart rate changes following the probe stimulus. Therank order of task difficulty (I, II, and 111) was consistent forall dependent measures.

(b) The removal of the probe stimulus/reaction time task substantiallyimproved task performance, slightly increased the time to completethe task, decreased heart rate variability on the difficult tasks,and increased heart rate variability on the easy tasks.

(c) Heart rate variability increased as task difficulty decreased andalso appeared to increase with decreasing reaction time.

(d) The probability of a heart rate change within 5 seconds of theprobe stimulus decreased with increasing task difficulty.

(e) The probability that a heart rate change within 5 seconds ofthe probe stimulus would be an acceleration in rate increasedwith both task difficulty and probe stimulus intensity.

(f) It also was observed that there were individually unique ways ofresponding (e.g., vasoconstriction to low levels of the probestimulus, maintenance of vasoconstriction for extended periods,biphasic vasoconstriction/dilation, difference in temporalintervals between ECG, FPG, and REG pulse signals, etc.).

It is probable that these characteristic types of physiological response willprove predictive of eventual disease states, personality variables, etc.

Due to the pilot nature of this test program and the exigencies of costand schedule, systematic data reduction was not attempted on REG, EPG, andFPG parameters. Inspection of the data on these dependent variables led tothe comments in (f) above.

On the basis of the study and the pilot testing, it is recommended that(1) the line of investigation reported be continued with fully designedexperiments; (2) the range of observation and computations be extended toinclude temporal relationships between the dependent variables; and (3)sufficient data be collected to clarify the effects of the independentvariables and the relations between dependent variables, to classify theindividually unique ways of responding, and to make a sufficient number ofobservations to be indicative of normative data.

If the data continue to support the fundamental contention in a fullydesigned experiment, then the basic approach must be extended to experi-mentation in multiperson situations and in conjunction with other environ-mental stressors such as isolation.
