    1) Burns, Moskowitz, Stuster and Tharp

    2) They developed what we now call the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests.

    They were given NHTSA contracts for the production of a standardized methodolgy for field sobriety testing and are the authors of Psychophysiological Tests for DWI Arrest, Final Report, DOT-HS-802-424 (Marcelline Burns & Herbert Moskowitz 1977). Development and Field Test of Psychophysiological Tests for DWI Arrest, Final Report, DOT-HS-805-864 (V. Tharp, Burns, and Moskowitz, 1981) Validation of the Standardized Field Sobriety Test Battery at BACs Below 0.10. US Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Washington, DC, DOT-HS-808-839, (Stuster, J.W. and Burns, M. 1998). The Detection of DWI at BACs Below 0.10. US Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Washington, DC DOT-HS-808-654 (Stuster, J.W. 1997).

    Stuster was left out because he is a real scientist. (I have no clue and am making a WAG here)

    and 4) is my WAG from above…Stuster was left out because he is a real scientist. (I have no clue and am making a WAG here)
