Means were devised for improving and standardizing the study practices of Naval air trainees. A manual, 'Successful Study Methods, ' together with a Plan for Implementing the Manual were developed to meet the described needs. The manual contains only material that has been demonstrated by research to contribute to superior learning, described at a language level calculated not to present equivocal meanings to even the lowest level trainee. It incorporates a specific and observable study technique that is widely applicable and at the same time produces in the form of study notes a means whereby the students proper conformance to the method can be readily ascertained. The method and manual are of such simplicity as to demand minimal time both for the indoctrination of students in their use and the indoctrination of instructors and duty officers in their installation and supervision.

Recent vision research has led to the emergence of new techniques that offer exciting potential for a more complete assessment of vision in clinical, industrial, and military settings. Emergent Techniques for Assessment of Visual Performance examines four areas of vision testing that offer potential for improved assessment of visual capability including: contrast sensitivity function, dark-focus of accommodation, dynamic visual acuity and dynamic depth tracking, and ambient and focal vision. In contrast to studies of accepted practices, this report focuses on emerging techniques that could help determine whether people have the vision necessary to do their jobs. In addition to examining some of these emerging techniques, the report identifies their usefulness in predicting performance on other visual and visual-motor tasks, and makes recommendations for future research. Emergent Techniques for Assessment of Visual Performance provides summary recommendations for research that will have significant value and policy implications for the next 5 to 10 years. The content and conclusions of this report can serve as a useful resource for those responsible for screening industrial and military visual function.
