title: Psychological tests for measurement of mental functions in individuals exposed to neurotoxicants and noise.
abstract: According to Sternberg's additive factors methodology two computer tests have been prepared in the Work Psychology Department of IOM. Several studies which allowed the assessment of effectiveness of experimental factors, manipulation and psychometric tests characteristics have been carried out. As well, effectiveness of experimental factors manipulation as reliability of both tests (IPT-Perception and IPT-Memory) appeared to be satisfactory. So these techniques are good enough to recommend using these tests in psychological examinations.
