| Description | Report titled 'The Validity of a Battery of Motor-Driving Tests.' (no. 37) by Philip E. Vernon.
The paper is an appendix to report no. 34. The report explains that prior experiments cannot conclusively define which combination of tests of ability are best suited to predict driver performance. The intercorrelations between the tests are presented. The report then explains in detail the difficulties of selecting a battery of tests, due to irregular correlations, problems with driver experienceor age. A final battery of tests is agreen upon, which includes Age, Matrices, Bennet and Questionnaire A. The second part of the report outlines te Boscombe Figures and Linearity of Regression. Detailed descriptions of various methods of analyses potentially applicable for the goal of the report are presented, alongside their implications. |
