Approved For Reledbd NGLASSIELED oo7ssr001 800210001-0 (U) Specifically, in accordance with an a priori defined set of rules con- sistent with the training program under investigation, each response is assessed as to the presence or absence of each element in the list. (Of course, the assessment is accomplished without any knowledge of the target for that particular session, that is, in a double-blind fashion.) Thus a 20-bit binary number can be constructed that represents the information contained in the RV response. D. (U) RV Analysis (U) An assessment of RV accuracy in a given RV session can be made by comparing the 20-bit numbers for the target and response. Specifically, the accuracy is defined as the percent of the target information (pércent of target elements) that was correctly perceived by the remote viewer. Similarly, an assessment of RV reliability can be made by determining the efficiency of the response. The RV reliability is defined as the percent of the RV response (percent of RV response elements) that was correct. Both RV accuracy and RV reliability provide quanitative measures of the RV response to a given target. To provide a quantitative measure of progress it is necessary to assess a given RV response not only with respect to its corresponding target but also with respect to all other targets in the target pool. This is accomplished with the aid of a computer and data base Management techniques. The result of this analysis is a statistical measure of RV training and a quantitative measure of the information transfer in the RV process. E. (U) Summary (U) The following is a step-by-step representation of the analysis of a single RV session: (1) The response is assessed (without knowledge of the corresponding target) as to the presence or absence of each of the items shown in Table A-1. (2) A 20-bit binary number is constructed from Step 1. (3) The predefined 20-bit representation of the cor- responding target is obtained. 49 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2002/05/17 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001800210001-0
