<p>The Aviation Selection Test Battery (ASTB) has been  used to screen prospective aviation candidates for the Navy,  Marines, and Coast Guard since World War II. The Navy has  continuously looked for ways to update and improve its  aviation screening procedures and the latest supplement of  the Performance-Based Measurement Battery (PBMB) currently  under development is just one example. The Naval Operational  Medicine Institute (NOMI) is currently investigating how  well this test will assist with the difficult process of  aviation candidate selection. This study was conducted to  assess whether individuals with aviation experience would  perform better on the PBMB than those with no aviation  experience. Forty individual participated in this research,  20 had formal aviation training. The results showed that  experienced aviators performed significantly better on eyehand  coordination tracking tasks than the group with no  aviation experience.
