Development of Submarine Simulation for Assessment of Cognitive Skills

Abstract

In today’s ever-changing world, migration from legacy processes to modern processes is one of the popular and efficient trends. Cognitive assessment is used as a screening test for job-seeking candidates by many corporations and it is also required for detecting major health diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Cognitive assessment using a pen-paper test requires participants to imagine the situations given in the test, which leads to inaccurate results defeating the purpose of the whole process. We have tried to resolve this problem by using a more user-friendly and interactive process to judge various cognitive skills by using a simulation method. Simulation can be effectively used as an alternative to currently existing methods, which can be less accurate and lack real-world context. Using a submarine simulation to assess different cognitive skills can provide a much better alternative to a pen-paper test as it offers a more immersive experience and leaves fewer scope for imagination which leads to accurate cognitive skills evaluation comparatively. This submarine simulation after some modification can also be used as a screening or training tool for our upcoming or existing naval officers which will help our country to save large amounts of resources in the form of time and money.
