A microprocessor-based test battery containing simple reaction time, choice reaction time, and time perception tasks was flown aboard a 1985 Space Shuttle flight. Data were obtained from four crewmembers. Individual subject means indicate a correlation between change in reaction time during the flight and the presence of space motion sickness symptoms. The time perception task result indicate that the shortest duration task time (2 s) is progressively overestimated as the mission proceeds and is statistically significant (p < 0.01) when comparing preflight and postflight baselines. The tasks that required longer periods of time to estimate (8, 12, and 16s are less affected.
