McFarland 1901-1976 CONTENTS Preface vi Introduction vii Acknowledgements ix Catalog 1 Vidéocassettes ИЗ Journals 114 Technical Reports Series 117 Name Index 119 Subject Index 146 PREFACE The Ross A. McFarland Collection in Aerospace Medicine and Human Factors Engineering at the Fordham Health Sciences Library, Wright State University School of Medicine, provides an unparalleled scientific resource and data base for physicians, life scientists, engineers and others working at the leading edge of human progress, especially those in the areas of aviation, space and advanced ground transportation. The Collection is regularly consulted by those currently pioneering these fields and is an invaluable source of information constituting the base upon which future progress is being constructed. I met Dr. McFarland in 1958 and came to know him -well. I observed first-hand his pioneering concepts in human factors, enhanced immeasurably by his articulate communications. Starting in the 1930's, he almost singlehandedly launched the human factors effort in aviation, directly collecting data on airline pilot fatigue and other major operational flight safety aspects. Folio-wing Dr. McFarland's untimely death in 1976, an event -widely recognized as taking from us the father of aerospace human factors, his wife, Mrs. Emily McFarland, decided to deed his library and scientific papers to Wright State University School of Medicine, Fordham Health Sciences Library. This gift consisted of more than 6,000 print items and approximately 400 linear feet of scientific manuscripts, unpublished reports, research data and correspondence, covering 50 years of professional work and research by Dr.

This test contains five composites« pilot, navigator-tech- nical, dfficer quality, verbal, and quantitative A If a significant relationship exists between these scores and other indicators, AFROTC could conduct a less ex­ tensive aptitude testing program at a substantial savings. Research was conducted to test the null hypotheses that there is no significant correlation between the various composite scores of the AFOQT as dependent vari­ ables and the various subscores and total/composite scores of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Test (ACT) as independent variables. The group of persons who applied for four-year AFROTC scholarships during the 1973-74 academic year was used as the popu­ lation from which to sample. The data collected and analyzed in this study indi­ cated a significant correlation between each composite of the AFOQT and both the verbal and mathematics subscores and the total score of the SAT as well as one or more subscores and the composite score of the ACT. Each AFOQT composite except the pilot composite can be adequately predicted from either the individual’s SAT or ACT score.

This paper is not the copy of record and may not ex- actly replicate the final, authoritative version of the article. Please do not copy or cite without au- thors' permission. The final article will be available, upon publication, via its DOI: 10.1037/tps0000232 1 Abstract For more than a century, measurement experts have distinguished between time-limited tests and untimed power tests, which are administered without time limits or with time limits so generous all students are as- sured of completing all items. On untimed power tests, students can differ in their propensity to correctly respond to every item, and items should differ in how many correct responses they elicit. However, differ- ences among students’ speed of responding do not confound untimed power tests; therefore, untimed power tests ensure more accurate assessment. In this article, we present four empirically-based reasons to adminis- ter untimed power tests rather than time-limited tests in educational settings. (1) Time-limited tests are less valid; students’ test-taking pace is not a valid reflection of their knowledge and mastery.
