Development of a Taxonomy of Human Performance: Evaluation of an Abilities Classification System for Integrating and Generating Research Findings

Abstract

A preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of a task classification system based upon human abilities for integrating and generalizing research findings was the focus of the present paper. The evaluation was designed to determine (a) the extent to which abilities could differentiate task performance and (b) the extent to which such performance could be differentiated with respect to selected independent variables. Fifty- three studies in the vigilance literature were analyzed in terms of abilities required for task performance. The studies were then classified according to one of four predominant abilities.
