Abstract

The responses of 100 Navy sonar operators were compared to those of over 600 Navy recruits using the Hidden Patterns, Gestalt Completion, and Cube Comparison tests. Sonar operators attempted more items and made fewer errors on Hidden Patterns, attempted more items on Gestalt Completion, and made fewer errors on Cube Comparison than recruits, while recruits attempted more Cube Comparison items than sonar operators. The two groups did not differ in Gestalt Completion errors. These measures, especially Cube Comparison, may be useful in screening Navy personnel for sonar training, particularly training for those sonar systems in which visual displays are used extensively.
