Do you have what it takes to join the U.S. Army Air Forces?

Psychology Takes Flight explores the work of psychologists in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Psychological science played a key role in the war effort, as psychologists were called upon to redesign aircraft for maximum safety and efficiency, train and classify new recruits, and administer complex psychomotor tests. Visitors are invited to assess their skills and knowledge with interactive recreations of original tests.

The new exhibit opens February 5, 2025 in the National Museum of Psychology.
