This progress report covers the period from November 15, 1965
to February 15, 1966.
Expenditures
The average expenditure rate thus far has been about
0
per month; this is slightly less than the estimated rate of
per month for the total duration of the project. However,
during the three-month period from October 31, 1965 to January 31,
STAT
1966, the average monthly expenditure was The increased STAT
expenditure rate was due to the fact that two major studies were
started and a third study was completed during the reporting
period.
If the data collection phases of the current studies--mensu-
ration and missile site readout--could be completed on schedule,
the contract could also be completed on schedule. However, it is
evident now that data collection on the mensuration study cannot
be completed in accordance with the original schedule. Because
of conflicts with operational requirements, we have been unable
to obtain access either to the experimental subjects or the
necessary measuring equipment. It is likely that we will require
additional time--approximately three months--and additional funds--
approximately -to satisfactorily complete the mensuration

and missile studies. Furthermore, we have been supplied with
additional photographs of thelI model and hope to complete
studies of the relative worth of stereoscopic versus monoscopic
viewing and of mixed quality stereoscopic pairs. Naturally, we
will make an effort to accomplish as much as possible between now
and our current termination date in the event the contracting
agency chooses not to extend the contract.
Progress
Mensuration Study. Thus far, seven of the twenty-five GEMS
being used in the mensuration study have been measured. It is
taking one week for all six subjects to measure each GEM; thus it
appears that data collection will continue for another eighteen
weeks. The computer program has been completed, and some of the
data analyses are being done as the data are being gathered.
However, additional analyses will be required once the entire
data collection has been completed.
We plan to prepare an informal progress report after approxi-
mately half of the GEMS have been measured.
Missile Study. A pretest of the missile study was conducted
during the week of February 14, 1966 using four missile expert
PIS. The resulting data were reviewed by three I.A.s.X___ At this
point the technique used looks promising. However, we have not
as yet solved the problem of attaching meaningful numbers to the
PIs' responses.
Obliquity-scale Constant Study. A study of the effects of
obliquity angle with scale held constant was completed during the
period covered by this progress report. A briefing covering the
results of it and two previous studies was given on the third
floor during the week of February 14, 1966. The report of the
third study is currently being prepared.
