Description:
1. Final report outlining the findings of the independent validation of the Cognition Battery along with the development of psychometrically robust normative tables with the potential link to “mental effort” will provide NSBRI and NASA with a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the Cognition Battery as well as an increased understanding of how the Cognition Battery compares to currently used model, the WinSCAT. The report will be provided to NSBRI and NASA BHP Element and BHP Operations.
2. Secondly, a presentation will summarize findings that can be used to brief operational personnel on interpreting the tests of the Cognition Battery (and WinSCAT) to help provide feedback that is meaningful and relevant to both astronauts and flight surgeons in using these measures.
