MR041.01.02.0005 Normative Bilateral Brainstem Evoked August 1979MAMRL-1262 Response Data for a Naval Aviation

(AD A079908) Student Population: Group Statistics

W. Carroll Hixson and James D. Mosko

Abstract: Brainstem auditory evoked response data based uponsimulataneous ipsilateral and contralateral recordingshave been collected and avP.:lysed for a selectedpopulation (age 20 to 24 years) of naval aviationstudents. An extensive set of statistical tables is

, Vprovided for both forms of recordings which establishes

the normative range of brainstem responses for thisj'!", population, using acoustic click stimuli with a 21-Hz

repetition rate and peak levels 40, 60, and 80 dB above

sensory threshold. These tables include latency, trans-mission time, half-period, and peak-to-peak amplitudemeasurements for brainstem Waves I through "11. Thelatency and transmission time data are based upon indi-vidual measures of both the negative and positive peaksof the individual brainstem .)aves. Timing and amplitudedifferences observed between the ipsilateral and contra-

lateral brainstem recordings for certain of the waves

are described in detail. A set of correlation matricesis included to describe the relationships that existamong both the brainstem waves and the brainstem measure-ment parameters.

Ronald N. Robertson, James W. Greene,Donald W. Maxwell, and Carl E. Williams

'.stract: Past attempts to establish reliable group hearing test

procedures have been unsuccessful, as has the present-day application of group self-recording auditometry.Recent occupational health surveys at naval industrialfacilities have indicated that a large percentage ofthe audiograms currently being obtained on group unitsare invalid. Recently developed microprocessor-controlled audiometers may serve to minimize or

eliminate this serious problem.Laboratory and field assessments conducted on four

microprocessor-controlled audiometers (non-group)indicate they: 1) produce hearing threshold levels

comparable to those obtained with manual audiometersand within the same time frmne; 2) employ programmable

threshold seeking logic, thus ensuring testing con-consistency at any location; 3) can be programmed toprovide fault detection which makes it difficult forindividuals to falsify the audiometric data; and 4)provide digitized output information that can be trans-mitted to a larger computer, either directly or throughthe generation of onboard data tapes. Subsequent tothe exploratory assessment of the four units, tentativeperformance specifications have been identified for amicroprocessor-controlled audiometer for use in Navyhearing conservation programs.

Field testing of a group microprocessor-controlledaudiometer is recommended prior t, establishing finalNavy performance specifications for such an instrument.

MFS8.524.015-0037 An Experimental Analysis of an Observing- November 1979"NAMRL-1264 Response in Rats Exposed to 1.28 and 5.62(AD A080928) GHz Microwave Irradiation.

John 0. de Lorge, and Clayton S. Ezell

Abstract: Naval communications and weapons syscems use a varietyof microwave producing devices. Frequently fleetpersonnel may be exposed to the radio-frequency irradi-ation emanating from such devices. Current scientificreports indicate that biological changes can be pro-duced by nonionizing electromagnetic irradiation andthat complex behavioral effects are predominant among

4• these changes.

Few studies of the biological effects of microwaveirradiation have investigated complex behavior in non-human organisms. One human behavior easily simulatedin other animals is monitoring performance, otherwiseknown as observing-behavior or performance on a vigilancetask. This task requires an animal to respond, thereby"producing one or more stimuli. When the stimuji change, A

the animal has to report the change to obtain a rein-forcer. In the present study the effects of two differentmicrowave frequencies (1.28 and 5.62 GHz) on observingbehavior in rats were investigated.

"At 1.28 GHz the observing-response rate was consistentlyaffected at a power density of 15 mW/cm 2 in all eightiats while at 5.62 GHz the observing-response rate wasnot consistentlý affected until the power density approx-imated 26 mW/cm . Measures of the averaged specificabsorption rate (SAR) in a rat model of simulated muscletissue illustrated a distribution difference at the twodifferent frequencies. The SAR distributioL within the

model's head at 1.28 GHz was the inverse of the distri-• bution in the head at 5.62 GHz. It was concluded that

the rat's behavior was more easily disrupted at 1.28

GHz than at 5.62 GHz because of the deeper penetrationof energy at 1.28 GHz and differences in energy distri-bu':ion at the two frequencies.

MF58.524.015-0034 Implantation and Maintenance of Chronic November 1979NAMRL-1265 Jugular Venous Catheters in Rhesus MonkeysS(AD A082233) (Macaca mulatta)

SW. Gregory Lotz, and Timothy P. O'Neill

Abstract: The study of neuroendocrine parameters in rhesus monkeysand other laboratory animals is complicated by the factthat procedures often used to obtain blood samples fromthe animals cause rapid and pronounced changes in thecirculating levels of a number of hormones. Severalreports in the open scientific literature indicate thatthis problem can be greatly reduced or eliminated throughthe use of chronically indwelling veftous catheters. Aneffort was undertaken to adapt published procedures forsuch catheters for use in this laboratory.

Procedures have been successfully adapted for the im-plantation, maintenance, and extended use of chronicindwelling Jugular venous catheters in rhesus monkeys.These catheters have been successfully used to drawblood samples from chair-restrained monkeys without anyinteraction with the animal.

L Gerald B. Thomas, Carl E. Williams, and lorman G.Hoger

Abstract: Individual differences in susceptibility to deleteriousnoise effects is one of the distinguishing character-istics of noise-related research. In an effort toidentify and verify possible contributing var'½bles tothe susceptibility question, an examination oi therelationship between the hearing threshold levels and"selected anatomical, physiological. and behavioralmeasures of a noise-exposed population was undertaken.

Using data from NAMRL's Thousand Aviator Study, sub-N jects categorized as being of "normal hearing" (n=97)

and of "impaired hearing" (n=104) were compared along

several non-auditory dimensions. Results indicatedthat the two groups differed significantly (p <.05)in regard to smoking behavior and eye color. That is,the impaired hearing group had smoked more cigarettesfor longer periods of time and tended to have more blue-eyed (i.e., low melanin concentration) individuals thandid the normal hearing group. The latter finding iscongruent with the speculation that melanin in the striavascularis (the concentration of which is mirrored byiris pigmeontation) serves to protect cochlear function.

Variables which failed to differentiate the two hearinglevel groups included: blood pressure (systolic anddiastolic; sitting and supine), heart rate, serumcholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum lipoproteins,serum uric acid, atherogenic index, presence of arcussenilis, the ten scales of the Guilford-ZimmermanTemperament Survey (emotional stability, restraint,general activity, seriousness, objectivity, socialascendancy, friendliness, thoughtfulness, personalrelations, masculinity), social index, alcohol consump-tion, and somatotype.

Abstract! This report is the zecond in a series dealing with alongitudinal study of airsickness in the Basic,Advanced, and Fleet Readiness Squadrons comprising the

Naval Flight Officer training program. Flight data from1,833 hops flown by 134 VT86-AJN students being trainedfor various weapon operation and navigation duties inattack and antisubmarine warfare aircraft indicate thatapproximately 55 percent of the students reported beingairsick on one or more flights, 28 percent reportedvomiting on one or more flights, and 30 percent consid-ered their flight performance to have been degraded byairsickness 'ýn one or more hops. Of the total numberof hops flown, airsickness, vomiting, and performancedegradation were reported to have occurred on 8.6, 3.7,and 3.4 percent, respectively, of the flights. The reportdetails the flight data by hops and by students and alsorelates the airsickness performance of the student groupto performance on a selected battery cf motion reactivitytests administered to a large zegment if the squadronpopulation prior to beginning flight training.

Fred E. Guedry, Jr., J. Michael Lentz,Ralph M. Jell, and Joel W. Norman

Abstract: Legibility of a head-fixed display and visualsuppression of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR)were found to be superior -hen vestibular stimuli and

optokinetic stimuli were of like direction (i.e., wouldproduce the same direction of nystagmus) and inferiorwhen they were opposite •n direction. Velocities(relating to the head) of peripheral optokinetic stimuliranging between -18 deg/sez and +180 deg/sec inter-

acted effectively with vestibular stimuli to influencevisibility of a head-fixed display. This indicatesthat peripheral optokinetic stimulation can influencevisual suppression of the VOR at velocities that far

NMRDC ZF 51.524. The Bias in the Presentation of Stimuli July 1980004.2011 When the Up-and-Down Method is Used WithNAVAIRSYSCOM W43- Forced Choice Responding13.8881NAMRL-1269 David J. Blower(AD A089790) The up-and-down method is used in many psychophysical

Abstract: experiments to determine the threshold stimulus. Thismethod attempts to obtain an accurate estimate of thethreshold by concentrating stimulus presentationsaround the threshold. However, if the up-and-downmethod is used in conjunction with forced responding,"the distribution of stimuli presented to a subject willbe biased. This results in the disproportionate pre-sentation of stimuli below the threshold and, as aconbequence, a bias in the estimate of the thresholdcalculated from these presentations. This paper setsout to answer the following questions. What is thenature of this bias in stimulus presentation when theup-and-down method is used with four alternative forcedchoice responding? Can this bias be corrected bymodifying the up-and-down method?

The exact nature of the bias induced by forced choiceresponding in the up-and-down method can be clearlydemonstrated. An example is given for a visual acuitythreshold problem. The up-and-down method can beanalyzed theoretically as a Markov chain and theprobability of a particular stimulus being presentedcan be computed for every trial. The up-and-downmethod can be modified to force convergence of stimuluspresentations around the threshold value, even in theforced choice case.

The measurement approach represented by tests ofAbstract: dynamic visual acuity (DVA) appears to offer unique

potential for assessing visual capabilities which arerequired in the performance of naval aviation missions,and for investigating the nature of these visualcapabilities. The DVA literature reports significantvariations in measures of linearity, magnitude, and

continuity of the DVA function. Clarification of thequantitative characteristics of the DVA functioi, isrequired if measures of this function are to be ippliedto the assessment and prediction of individual capabil-ities for visual performance, and if the understandingof this function is to influence task design.

Selected areas in the DVA literature are summarized.

Descriptive data are reported from three exploratoryexperiments regarding individual aifferences and theeffects of contrast, luminance, and target surroundupon DVA performance. Subjects, whose static visualacuities were better than 20/20, exhibited large indi-vidual differences in their abilities to recognizetargets moving at 200 /sec and in the rates at whichtheir acuities were degraded for higher target velocities.Initial data indicate that the configuration of thetarget surround may affect DVA performance significantly.

MR04I.01.03-0156 The Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex in Man During July 1980NAMRL-1271 Voluntary Head Oscillation Under Three(AD A090978) Viewing Conditions

Ralph M. Jell, Fred E. Guedry, Jr., andW. Carroll Hixson

Abstract: The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) generated by voluntaryhead movements keyed to a tone varying sinusoidally inpitch was studied in 13 men. Modulation of pitch atfrequencies ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 Hz yielded syste-matic variation in head movement frequencies, althoughat higher frequencies head frequencies fell belowrequested frequencies. Three conditions of visualstimulation were used. When an Earth-fixed visualtarget was visible, VOR gain {(maximum eye velocity) +(maximum head velocity)} in each half cycle was slightlybut significantly greater than VOR gain in darkness atall frequencies except 0.1 Hz. With a head-fixedtarget, VOR gain was substantially less than VOR gain indarkness at all requested frequencies below 2.0 Hz. Thefinding that visual suppression becomes ineffective atfrequencies above 1.0 Hz parallels results obtained inother laboratories during passive whole-body oscilla-tion. Results indicate that the procedures are feasiblefor further evaluation as part of a clincial test battery.

Lawrence H. Frank

Abstract: The purpose of this report is to provide within a

single document, a compendium of data on Head-UpDisplays (HUDs), in U. S. Navy and U. S. Marine Corpsaircraft that is germane to a Human Factors assessmentof HUD design on pilot performance.

The data in this report are compiled from currentNaval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standard-ization (NATOPS) manuals and design specifications foreach of the HUD units.

Operational HUDs were found to vary dramatically fromeach other and the military specification for HUDsMIL-D-81641(AS), with respect to symbology and for-

mating. Furthermore, display clutter was reported bypilots to be a major problem. A comprehensive infor-mation processing evaluation of virtual image symbolsand formating under dynamic conditions was recommended.

Finally, none of the current Navy aircraft has a HUDcontrol panel that complies to MIL-D-81641 (AS), themilitary specification for HUDs. Pilots are required

to bring their eyes back "into" the cockpit to ensureproper switch selection and, consequently, negate theprimary purpose of maintaining a head-up mode.

A•bstract: This report represents the third in a series of reportsanalyzing minority officer accessions and attritions asrelated to the Naval Air Training Program. Previousreports have shown no differences in attrition ratesfor black students and white students in pilot trainingwhen the two groups are equated on AQT/FAR, procure-ment source, and class contiguity. Performance, asmeasureJ hy academic and flight grades, however, wassignificantly lower for the black students. In this

report, three variables, college major, grade pointaverage, and the college's racial composition were,.nalyzed to determine the extent to which they couldaccount for those performance differences. In addition,the two groups were compared by training pipelines.

The college majors of the black students were notsignificantly different from those of the matched groupof white students. Black students with majors in tech-nical, engineering, social science, and physical sciencehad the highest aviation training completion rates, whilewhite students with majors in technical, business admin-istration, physical education, and engineering had thehighest completion rates. Grade point average waspredictive of pre-advanced academl: grades for blackstudents, but had no predictive validity for complete/attr.te. The majority of black students attended pre-dominantly white colleges. The AQT was significantlyhigher for black students who attended white colleges,but attrition rates did not differ. There were nodifferences in input or attrition rates when the blackstudents and white students were compared by trainingpipel'nes,

report examines for differences in selection testscores, training grades, complete/attrite data, andcollege background factors between black students anda matched sample of white students in naval flightofficer training.

This report shows that black student naval flightofficerrn performed significantly poorer on most trainingvaria1 les than a matched sample of white student navalfllLht officers. The overall attrition rate for thet-.rtal group of black SNFOs was significantly higherthan the overall attrition rate for the total group ofmatched white SNFOs. The category of attrition

entitled "Drop on Request" was the predominant categoryof attrition for both the black student naval flightofficers and the white student naval flight officers.Significantly more black students than white studentsattrited for academic reasons, while significantlymore white students than black attrited for reasons ofphysical disqualifications and not aeronauticallyadapted.

Statistically significant differences between pipelineassignments of the black SNFOs and pipeline assign-ments of the white SNFOs were found. However, nostatistically significant differences between the blackstudent attrition rates and the white student attritionrates from the various pipelines were found.

An analysis of the black SNFO population in terms of theracial composition of the college attended indicatedthat the majority of the students attended predominantlywhite colleges, and that there were no statisticallysignificant differences in attrition rates betweenblack SNFOs from predominantly black colleges and blackSNFOs from predominantly white colleges.

Special Report 80-4 Energy Maneuverability Display for August 1980(AD A092974) the Air Combat Maneuvering Range/

Tactical Training System (ACMR/TACTS)

V. R. Pruitt, W. F. Moroney, and C. Lan

Abstract: Over the past decade, emphasis has been placed ondesigning fighter aircraft to energy maneuvvrabilitycriteria. These criteria have indeed increasedfighter performance, but they have also presentedanalysts and pilots with new tasks in fully utilizingthis impoved capability. In the development of tactics,the energy maneuverability capability of a potentialadversary's aircraft must be compared with the maneu-vering capability of one's own aircraft. A majorfactor which determines tbs outcome of aerial combatis the pilot's ability to maximize the maneuveingcapability of his aircraft. This report describesthe development of an integrated analog display (turnrate vs calibrated airspeed) for use as a debriefingaid on the Air Combat Maneuvering Range (ACMR).

The ACMR gathers in-flight data from aircraft whilethey are engaged in air combat maneuvering. Uponreturning from the ACMR, aircrew are presented with1) a pictorial display of the engagement, and 2) adigital printout of selected encounter paramaters(e.g., velocity, "g", altitude of each aircraft,range between aircraft). The display integrates theserelevant energy maneuverability data into an analogformat, thus providing an immediate comparison of theperformance of each Jircraft with respect to themaneuvering envelope of that aircraft and that of theopponent. The display also allows the aircrew torecognize very rapidly whether they are gaining orlosing energy and the rate of gain or loss. Themaneuvering envelopes of the F-14, F-4, A-4, and F-5

S aircraft can be displayed in this dynamic format. Itis expected that this new format 1) will provide abetter means for pilots to determine how well they'have maximized the performance of their aircraft, and2) may serve as an aid in tactics development.

A brief discussion of the nature of energy maneuvera-bility is ccontained in an Appendix.

It is proposed that the effectiveness of the energymaneuverability (EM) display and the companioninstructional video tape should be evaluated. Thepotential incorporaticn of the display into otherACMRs/ACMIs and ACM simulators should also beconsidered.

No. 28 A Review of Dynamic Visual Acuity March 1980

Tommy R. Morrison

Abstract: In many everyday s'tuations relative motion existsbetween human beings and the visual information whichthey Must acquire and resolve in order to performtheir tasks successfully. In particular, tasks, suchas flying aircraft, driving automobiles and othervehicles, and resolving moving information presentedvia visual displays, impose a requirement on the humanoperator to process moving information. Since DynamicVisual Acuity (DVA) is a critical visual skill involvedin performing such visual tasks, tne present reviewwas undertaken in order to better understand thisvisual skill and to provide a basis for continuingresearch in this area.

Considerable research in the area of DVA has been under-

taken since the review published in 1962 by Miller andLudvigh which included DVA research performed prior to1.960. The present review summarizes the DVA literatureand findings included in the 1962 review, presentsfindings of DVA investigations reported between 1960and 1978, and relates some of the latter findings to"the former.
