Abstract
This report presents nine principles concerning the effects of acceleration on human performance. These principles are derived from centrifuge experiments in which human subjects were exposed to acceleration environments which were designed to simulate three basic types of proposed space vehicles. These principles deal with the areas of: 1) performance tolerance; 2) practice effects; 3) restraint system; 4) individual differences; 5) control system; 6) control feedback; 7) task difficulty level; 8) display characteristics; and 9) higher mental processes. The need for research on the effects of acceleration variables other than peak gravity and direction of gravity is noted, as is the problem of interaction between variables.
