TIME AND ACCURACY AS MEASURES OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE: A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE,

Abstract

The paper presents a review of the literature related to the performance of simple sensory and/or sensorymotor activities in terms of two factors: the optimal time to perform such activities, and the degradation in accuracy, if any, under time stress. The purpose of this literature review was to seek findings which (1) could aid in evaluating the validity, utility and generalizability of existing mathematical models intended to derive personnel performance standards from system effectiveness requirements, and (2) would provide the information for: (a) accurately deriving personnel performance standards in terms of time, and (b) evaluating the possible effect on system effectiveness of varying time constraints.
