Human Performance in Concurrent Verbal and Tracking Tasks: A Review of the Literature.

Abstract

The development of voice interactive computer systems (VIS) for the control of on-board aircraft systems is expected to result in reduced operator work-load and increased effectiveness of naval aviation crews. A data base is needed to provide answers to human factors engineering questions arising from this development. The research reported in sixteen major scientific journals, as well as in Psychological Abstracts, for the interval 1967-1977 inclusive, was examined for reports of investigations of human performance in concurrent verbal and continuous manual control tasks. A few readily available technical reports were also examined. Adequate experimental data are not available to form a data base to support human factors requirements of the VIS development. A comprehensive research program is needed to determine the extent of human operator performance capabilities in timeshared verbal and manual control tasks. (Author)
