Automated Portable Test (APT) System:  overview and prospects.
The Automated Portable Test (APT) System is a notebook-sized, computer-based, human-performance and subjective-status assessment system.  It is now being used in a wide range of environmental studies (e.g., simulator aftereffects, flight tests, drug effects, and hypoxia).  Three questionnaires and 15 performance tests have been implemented, and the adaptation of 30 more tests is underway or is planned.  The APT System is easily transportable, is inexpensive, and has the breadth of expansion options required for field and laboratory applications.  The APT System is a powerful and expandable tool for human assessment in remote and unusual environments.
