Description
This paper discusses the use of the statistical technique of factor analysis as a research tool in assessing complex performance, and its potential application to simulation research programs. A preliminary factor analytic investigation of complex perceptual-motor performance is presented. In the investigation, 12 complex physical proficiency tests were administered in a battery of tests which included 24 simple perceptual-motor measures of speed, flexibility, balance, and strength. The results indicated that factor analytic techniques are valuable in identifying the differential components or abilities underlying performance in complex motor skills performance.
