Abstract

(from the preface) Chapter 1 provides a context for the committee's task and the Army's interest in enhancing performance, characterizes some particular techniques, and introduces some general issues in evaluating them. Chapter 2 presents the committee's findings about the techniques examined and conclusions about appropriate evaluation procedures. Chapter 3 treats the relevant evaluation issues more systematically and presents the committee's philosophy of evaluation as it pertains to the matter at hand. Chapters 4 through 8 deal with particular techniques but are organized in terms of more general psychological processes. Chapter 9 considers parapsychological techniques.
