Human information processing efficiency in a dual-task paradigm
… at their maximum sustainable rates of information processing. The tasks are statistically independent, forced-paced, and do not permit subjects to group signals into chunks. In two experiments, Gladstones et al. found that the time taken by subjects to perform two tasks simultaneously …

The P300 and Stages of Human Information Processing: An Additive Factors Study
… and S-R compatibility affect different stages of information processing, with stimulus discriminability affecting early stages associated with stimulus encoding and S-R compatibility affecting later stages associated with response selection. In the present study, subjects viewed matrices composed …

Divergence between the human state assumption and the actual aircraft system state
… in this thesis as an inconsistency between the human operator's assumption of the system state and the actual state of the system, which is substantial enough to have consequential effects on the outcome of the situation. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the concept of divergence and …

An Investigation of Software Metrics Affect on Cobol Program Reliability
… first step was to select factors based on the human information processing model that are associated with changes in computer program reliability. Then these factors (software metrics) were quantitatively studied to determine which factors affect COBOL program reliability. Then a statistical …

Simultaneous Media Usage: Effects on Attention
… is unknown. A strong theoretical foundation of human information processing theory predicts negative consequences in terms of performance cost in learning, and degradation of attention. Related research on dual task performance and multiple-channel processing demonstrates a decline in …

Performance Monitoring: Error Detection and the Error-Related Negativity in Choice-Related Time Tasks
Supervisory control is an integral part of the human information processing system. A component of the event-related brain potential, the error-related negativity (ERN), appears to be a manifestation of a process that monitors the accuracy of performance. Current evidence suggests that the …

A computer-based training course for assessing material safety data sheet comprehension
… 0.31, 0.39, and 0.48 from instructional design, human-computer interaction, and human information processing guidelines. Three groups of industrial subjects (η = 8) were trained and tested to see which level maximizes worker comprehension of the chemical hazard concepts found in the Occupational …

Parallel processing in overlapping tasks: A model and a method
… have previously been held to indicate parallel processing. A new method was developed to assess the extent and nature of parallel processing in overlapping tasks more reliably and in more detail. This method may also provide an important tool in the investigation of the adaptive control of human …

Critical Thinking and Preferred Cognitive Style of Nursing Students
… Critical Thinking Appraisal and the Human Information Processing Survey. Findings. There was a difference between nursing students, and non-nursing students' critical thinking scores (t = 2.0513,p = .0429). A negative correlation was found between the interpretation subtest scores and …

The Integration Of Audio Into Multimodal Interfaces: Guidelines And Applications Of Integrating Speech, Earcons, Auditory Icons, and Spatial Audio (SEAS)
… to direct the integration of audio into human-system interfaces. This work first discusses the utility of integrating audio to support multimodal human-information processing. Next, an auditory interactive computing paradigm utilizing Speech, Earcons, Auditory icons, and Spatial audio …

An analysis of information complexity in air traffic control human machine interaction
… the complexity of air traffic control (ATC) human-machine interaction (HMI). Within this context, complexity is defined as the minimum amount of information required to describe the human machine interaction process in some fixed description language and chosen level of detail. The …

Memory and locality in natural language
… the hypothesis that the universal properties of human languages can be explained in terms of efficient communication given fixed human information processing constraints. I argue that under short-term memory constraints, optimal languages should exhibit information locality: words that depend on …

Modelling the driver for traffic flow simulation
… is their inability to adequately capture the human element in the system. The human driver does not think and act in precise ways, making him difficult to model using conventional mathematical means. This research explored an alternative method of formulating driving models. It started from a …

Assimilating complex information
… is based on the assumption that features of human cognitive architecture have important implications for how we learn and understand. The experiments examined an alternative approach to instructional design which had the goal of promoting schema construction in order to foster understanding. …

A cybernetic model for the unified explanation of human behavior
<p>The mechanistic approach to the explanation of human behavior is as old as western philosophy itself, dating back to the materialistic theories of mind of the pre-Socratics. Despite its antiquity, however, mechanism has never gained undisputed ascendancy as a psychological model. The “mental” …
