Performance Tests for Repeated Measures: Moran and Computer Batteries

This investigation was directed at the statistical baseline evaluation of nine tasks from two test batteries for suitability for repeated measures applications to environmental investigations. In the first study, five tasks from the Moran Battery were administered to 18 subjects daily for 13 work days. In the second study, four tasks from the Carter and Sbisa Computer Generated Battery were administered daily to 17 subjects (12 in common with first study) for 15 work days. Examination of the means, variances, interday reliabilities and cross-task correlations led to the recommendation of four tasks for repeated measures applications: Vertical Addition, Perceptual Speed, Grammatical Reasoning, and Flexibility of Closure.
