APPLICATION OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE TO PERFORMANCE AID DEVELOPMENT.
Abstract
Four classes of variables relevant to behavioral research on the development of performance aids (technical orders, maintenance manuals, etc.) are outlined: (a) Legibility and Format Variables; (b) Variables Associated with Processing Printed Numeric Information; (c) Variables Associated with the Physical Configuration of Performance Aids; and, (d) Variables Associated with Troubleshooting Informational Processing and Display Systems. Each of these topics is discussed within a historical framework, with supporting empirical research. Some predictions are made for future trends in performance-aid behavioral studies. (Author)
