Subjective Measurement of Mental Workload.

Abstract

Although there is widespread agreement that an important component of mental workload is the subjective judgement of how difficult the task seems, and how loaded the human operator feels, there have been rather few attempts to measure subjective load directly. This paper reviews those attempts and discusses what variables in the task seem to be responsible for the ratings given by the operator. Some suggestions for future research are given. (Author)
