The Spaceflight Cognitive Assessment Tool for Windows (WinSCAT) was developed by an integrated product team as a tool to support medical operations at NASA Johnson Space Center and as way to monitor the neurocognitive status of space crews. It is based on 20 yr of experience in performance and cognitive testing within the U.S. Department of Defense. As a result, WinSCAT development has benefited from diverse efforts supporting its technical reliability and validation. The rationale, background, and development of WinSCAT are described, research supporting its use is summarized, and recommendations are made for its continued development.
用于Windows系统的航天飞行认知评估工具(WinSCAT)由一个综合产品团队开发,作为支持美国国家航空航天局约翰逊航天中心医疗操作的工具以及监测航天员神经认知状态的一种方式。它基于美国国防部20年的性能和认知测试经验。因此,WinSCAT的开发受益于支持其技术可靠性和验证的多种努力。本文描述了WinSCAT的基本原理、背景和开发过程,总结了支持其使用的研究,并对其持续开发提出了建议。
