Enhancement of Human Effectiveness in System Design, Training, and Operation: July 1974-June 1975.

Abstract

This report is part of a study on residual attention, information load, and pilot performance. It has resulted in: (1) General rules and prediction equations for evaluation of task load and operator efficiency; (2) Discrimination of individual differences in attention and assessment of their predictive validity to operational performance; (3) Development of training procedures for timesharing.; and (4) Application of feedback control theory to operator tracking performance in timesharing Investigation of adaptive logic in acquisition of perceptual-motor skills included a review of literature on adaptive training with emphasis on current theoretical models of perceptual motor skills. Experiments were designed to investigate the role of proprioceptive and visual response-produced feedback during motor learning, and the effects of changing response-produced feedback after the same or after different amounts of practice.
