Grip Pressure as a Measure of Task Difficulty in Compensatory Tracking Tasks.
Abstract
The feasibility of utilizing the grip pressure exerted on a rigid control stick as a measure of tracking task difficulty was investigated. A device was engineered to measure grip pressure independent of control force. A hybrid computer was used to produce the tracking tasks necessary in the research and on-line data computation. Compensatory tracking tasks using specified controlled elements provided the difficulty levels, from easiest to most difficult. (Modified author abstract)
