Les tests de mémoire ont été surtout appliqués comme des épreuves cliniques, tels le test de rétention visuelle de Benton [...] ou les tests de Rey. [...] Arthur L. Benton a construit [...] un test de rétention visuelle [...] [qui] comportait initialement dix planches par forme, contenant une ou plusieurs figures géométriques simples [...] Chaque planche est exposée en dix secondes au patient qui est ensuite invité à dessiner ce qu'il a vu sur la planche [...]. Il s’agit donc d’un test de performance qui inclut une perception spatiale, une mémorisation immédiate et une reproduction de dessin qui met en jeu les capacités visuelles et motrices [...]; la notation se fonde sur le nombre de cartons correctement reproduits et le nombre d’erreurs [...] 2, record 2, French, - test%20de%20r%C3%A9tention%20visuelle%20de%20Benton

Human performance focuses on the examination and mechanisms in human spatial orientation, including the study of internal and mental cues from physical stimuli that allow humans to orient themselves in gravity or non-gravity situations. Research includes: human eye movement versus robotic vision systems; the use of 'heads up' helmets-mounted displays; human perception in motion and human visual disorders. 1, record 3, English, - human%20performance
