The Dissociation of Subjective Measures of Mental Workload and Performance
Abstract
dc:descriptionDissociation between performance and subjective measures of workload occurs when two task configurations are compared and the configuration that shows better performance is subjectively perceived as the more difficult task. According to a theory (Wickens & Yeh, 1983), dissociation occurs because subjective measures of mental workload do not reflect the processing characteristics that underlie the efficiency of the performance. Subjective workload was proposed to be sensitive to the amount of aggregate resource investment and be dominated by the demands on the perceptual/central resources.
