Signal Generalization and Discrimination in Meter-Monitoring Performance
Abstract
Signal generalization and discrimination have yet to be fully examined as factors in the monitoring of signal displays. A preliminary effort in this direction was initiated within BESRL's Monitor Performance Task and then prematurely terminated by the press of other requirments. The work that was done is described in the present memorandum, which is intended primarily for research workers in monitor performance who may wish to carry the experimentation forward or in some other way make use of the data or methodology. Taken in toto, data from research on monitoring performance are a puzzle. Despite a burgeoning literaute, there are discrepant findings among many studies, and there is need for concerted effort to pinpoint the sources of difference. The sources may well reside insomething about apparatus, preparation or motivation of the subjects for the experiments, instructions, or procedures. Hopefully, an investigator with a searching eye may even find some useful clues in the present study! With this in mind, the writer has provided far more detail than would ordinarily be included in a preliminary report of this type.
