Initial Validation Of Novel Performance-Based Measures: Mental Rotation And Psychomotor Ability, Philip Fatolitis Jan 2008

Initial Validation Of Novel Performance-Based Measures: Mental Rotation And Psychomotor Ability, Philip Fatolitis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Given the high-risk nature of military flight operations and the significant resources required to train U.S. Naval Aviation personnel, continual improvement is required in the selection process. In addition to general commissioning requirements and aeromedical standards, the U.S. Navy utilizes the Aviation Selection Test Battery (ASTB) to select commissioned aviation students. Although the ASTB has been a good predictor of aviation student performance in training, it was proposed that incremental improvement could be gained with the introduction of novel, computer administered performancebased measures: Block Rotation (BRT) and a Navy-developed Compensatory Tracking task. This work constituted an initial validation of the …

Language Development And Visual-Motor Integration In The Preschool Child, Andrea Lynn Perry Graham

Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to compare the visual-motor integrative abilities of preschool children with their articulatory and syntactical development. Two questions were posed: Do children having accelerated visual-motor integrative skills perform at a higher level than children having delayed visual-motor integration skills in 1) their articulation proficiency, and 2) their syntactical abilities?


Prediction Of Football-Playing Ability In Spring Training Tryouts Through The Use Of Psychobiomotor Assessment, Michael D. Secunda Jul 1980

Prediction Of Football-Playing Ability In Spring Training Tryouts Through The Use Of Psychobiomotor Assessment, Michael D. Secunda

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Psychobiomotor assessment refers to the use of a combination of psychological, biological, and motor-performance tests to comprehensively analyze the skills, attributes, and performance capabilities of athletes. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that there are significant psychobiomotor differences between successful collegiate football players in the offensive backfield positions and those players who are rates as less successful in these positions. Subjects were 19 male volunteer tryouts (mean age = 20.5) for the positions of quarterback and halfback on the inaugural University of Central Florida football team. They were assessed on the physiological variable anaerobic capacity, they …


A Comparison Of Normal And Retardate Performance On The Mira Myokinetic Psychodiagnosis, Victor L. Baldwin Jul 1964

A Comparison Of Normal And Retardate Performance On The Mira Myokinetic Psychodiagnosis, Victor L. Baldwin

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

The Objective of the present study was to compare performance of normals and retardates on an expressive motor task. The test used was the Mira Myokinetic Psychodiagnosis. This test was selected because of its quality of objectivity and lack of use in the area of mental retardation. The need for such a study is evidenced by the speculation of various authors concerning the role of expressive motor behavior in personality development and its diagnostic value. The test was administered to twenty normals and twenty retardates. The retardate sample was selected from the patient population of Parsons State Hospital and Training …
