Multi-Task Time-Sharing Requirements

Abstract

Ten laboratory experiments are reported on dual-task performance. A continuous tracking task and a discrete choice reaction time task were used as representative of the kinds of information processing required of an aircraft pilot. The research dealt with three major concerns: a demonstration of the time-sharing; effect and an examination of the influence of auditory noise on time-sharing localizing the time-sharing effect in an input, an output or in a central stage of human information processing; and the influence of variations in the tracking task, variations in augmented feedback across tasks, and the influence of auditory noise on dual-task performance.
