A study was conducted to further evaluate the Manikin Task, a test of spatial orientation information processing. The objectives of the study were to determine the speed vs. accuracy tradeoff characteristics of the task and to assess performance on the task under the influence of ethyl alcohol. Response times and accuracy were measured on five subjects over a five-week period. Analysis of the data indicated a definite decline in accuracy corresponding to a forced decrease in response time. The effect of alcohol was evidenced by a change in the slope of the speed-accuracy tradeoff function.

Introduction. The concepts of constructing promising radar systems (radars) show that these will be integral type complexes. The creation of such systems implies the presence in their composition of an information system consisting of channels that produce a functionally completed procedure for processing signals and information to solve a definite task.Aim. Development of a target coordinate correction algorithm based on spatial orientation information.Materials and methods. The tasks were solved by methods of mathematical analysis and numerical modeling. To justify reliability and performance of the proposed algorithm, a model was developed. The model allowed one to obtain accuracy characteristics of the algorithm.Results. As a result of the simulation, the accuracy characteristics of the target coordinate correction algorithm based on spatial orientation information were investigated. It determines the quality of building of the target trajectory and the quality of the target tracking system. The structure and the description of the developed algorithm were given, an implementation option was shown. The results of estimation of the accuracy of the algorithm were presented.Conclusion. As a result of the analysis of the target coordinate correction algorithm based on information about the target’s spatial orientation, as well as modeling of its operation, a conclusion about the reliability and the performance of the proposed algorithm was drawn The presented data of experimental studies on the accuracy characteristics of the proposed algorithm showed the feasibility of the decisions made. The presented results allow one to determine the most appropriate and effective way to develop simplified versions of the algorithm.

In this article, recent developments in the assessment and diagnosis of child psychopathology are discussed with an emphasis on standardized methodologies that provide data that can be scored on empirically derived groupings of problems that tend to co-occur. Assessment methodologies are highlighted that especially take account of the following three basic characteristics of child psychopathology: (1) the quantitative nature of child psychopathology; (2) the role of developmental differences in the occurrence of problem behaviors, and (3) the need for multiple informants. Cross-cultural research is needed to test the applicability of assessment procedures across different settings as well as the generalizability of taxonomic constructs. Assessments of children in different cultures can be compared or pooled to arrive at a multicultural knowledge base which may be much stronger than knowledge based on only one culture. It is essential to avoid assuming that data from any single source reveal the significance of particular problems. Instead, comprehensive assessment of psychopathology requires coordination of multisource data using a multiaxial assessment approach.
