A Dynamic Visual Recognition Test for Paced Inspection Tasks

Abstract
In many manufacturing organizations, employees are required visually to inspect parts that are moving along a conveyor. Applicants for these inspection tasks are often selected as the result of their performance on static visual acuity tests and rarely on the basis of the recently proposed dynamic acuity tests. However, conventional static and dynamic acuity tests have often proven unsuccessful in predicting operator performance on conveyor-paced inspection tasks because of the physical, psychological, and physiological differences between visual tests and the operating tasks. This research pertains to the development of a two-test battery used to minimize the differences between the selection tests and the paced-inspection tasks.
