The goal of the Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER) Program was to identify a set of measures of human capabilities for use in the study of environmental and other time-course effects. 114 measures studied in the PETER Program were evaluated and categorized into four groups based upon task stability and task definition. The Recommended category contained 30 measures that clearly obtained total stabilization and had an acceptable level of reliability efficiency. The Acceptable-But-Redundant category contained 15 measures. The 37 measures in the Marginal category, which included an inordinate number of slope and other derived measures, usually had desirable features which were outweighed by faults. The 32 measures in the Unacceptable category had either differential instability or weak reliability efficiency. It is our opinion that the 30 measures in the Recommended category should be given first consideration for environmental research applications. Further, it is recommended that information pertaining to preexperimental practice requirements and stabilized reliabilities should be utilized in repeated-measures environmental studies.
环境研究性能评估测试（PETER）项目的目标是确定一套用于环境及其他时程效应研究的人类能力测量方法。对PETER项目中研究的114种测量方法进行了评估，并根据任务稳定性和任务定义将其分为四组。“推荐”类别包含30种测量方法，这些方法明显实现了完全稳定，且具有可接受的可靠性效率水平。“可接受但冗余”类别包含15种测量方法。“边缘”类别中的37种测量方法，其中包括过多的斜率及其他派生测量方法，通常具有一些理想特征，但缺点更为突出。“不可接受”类别中的32种测量方法要么存在差异不稳定性，要么可靠性效率较低。我们认为，对于环境研究应用，应首先考虑“推荐”类别中的30种测量方法。此外，建议在重复测量的环境研究中利用与实验前实践要求和稳定可靠性相关的信息。
