Abstract
The objectives of this study were twofold: to identify
those cognitive skills required by the shipboard officer of
the deck (00D), and to determine if these skills are
affected by simulated ship motion. The Position Analysis
Questionnaire (PAQ) was used to analyze the duties of the
00D, and the important areas so identified were tested using
the Automated Portable Test System (APTS) and a ship motion
simulator. Analysis of the results revealed statistically
significant effects on 00D performance due to motion in the
areas of visual search and reasoning. In addition, there is
some graphical indication that either higher or lower error
rates are associated with motion, depending on the nature of
the task.
