Time-Sharing Effects on Pilot Tracking Performance.

Abstract

Subjects were required to simultaneously perform a two-dimensional tracking task and respond to a set of lights with toggle switches. Five levels of difficulty and two stimulus presentation rates were involved in the secondary task. The purpose of the experiment was to examine time-sharing performance of experienced military pilots and to investigate differences in performance by pilots of different types of aircraft.
