Coding Systems in Perception and Cognition
Abstract
An experimental study was made of the different ways that human subjects represent information and how these forms of representation facilitate or hinder adaptive behavior with respect to environmental information. Research on human performance has clearly indicated how limited is man's capacity for dealing with information. He must selectively react; he cannot cope with it all. The work provides information that might be relevant to this issue by bringing to bear different subareas of experimental psychology--perception, psychophysics, memory, thinking, psycholinguistics, motor skills, and human performance--upon the common problem of coding systems and their interactions with each other and with inputs and outputs.
