Testing of Manipulative Skills
|
|
|
|
A machine for measuring human coordination, EPIC (Electronic
|
|
Programmable Interactive Coorditester/Trainer) is another device
|
|
developed from NASA technology. It is expected that many uses will
|
|
be found, not only in biomedicine, rehabilitation, and the
|
|
physiology of muscular coordination but also in job aptitude
|
|
testing, law enforcement, and highway safety. In rehabilitation
|
|
work, for example, test results can show progress or indicate need
|
|
for remedial help.
|
|
|
|
EPIC is derived from a NASA prototype to test pilot manipulative
|
|
skills and determine effects of fatigue on their dexterity. In using
|
|
EPIC, colored lights are flashed on a display panel. The person
|
|
being tested, using hand and foot controls, tries to match the
|
|
lights on his panel.
|
|
|
|
The lights are constantly changed, calling for continuous
|
|
reactions from the person being tested.
