TASK ANALYSIS REDUCTION TECHNIQUE (TART) FOR THE QUANTIFICATION OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE.

Abstract

A Task Analysis Reduction Technique (TART) for collecting human factors information was developed and applied to the anti-submarine warfare tactical data system. TART is a specific procedure for analyzing the man/machine interface which allows the researcher to analyze sequential properties of the man/machine interaction. The technique is based on an analysis of the interface at a task level and uses closed circuit television and video tape recording apparatus. A trial application was performed using four air detector/trackers who were presented a one-hour air scenario in the anti-submarine warfare tactical data system. The results section presents various breakdowns of the TART data and indicate that TART can provide valuable insight into man/machine design and training effectiveness decisions. (Author)
