This report is the second in a series that investigated the effects of intermediate doses of ionizing radiation on Army helicopter crew performance. This report documents the analysis of performance on the Walter Reed Performance Assessment Battery (WRPAB), and the development of an initial model for the WRPAB using Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) techniques. The WRPAB was used in a study of where 20 AH-1 pilots (1) predicted the effects of various symptom complexes on their performance, (2) went through a 36-hour protocol to induce symptoms similar to those that are followed by intermediate doses of radiation exposure, (3) performed a simulated AH-1 mission before and after symptom induction, and (4) were administered the WRPAB approximately every 2 hours throughout the 36-hour protocol. The results indicated that the WRPAB (or some other test battery) has utility for the prediction of operator performance as affected by stressors such as ionizing radiation. The work was performance by Science Applications Corporation (SAIC) and the other authors were William A. Perez, Joseph I. Peters, Robert R. Sanchez--all of SAIC, and Robert W. Young of the Defense Nuclear Agency. Condition: Good.
