Survey of Task Analysis Methods

Abstract

This survey of task analysis methods was performed as a first step in a program to advance the state of the art in methods used to identify the requirements for training devices. The survey included a review of the literature and interviews with industrial contacts. Identified task analysis techniques/methods are classified with respect to several descriptive categories (e.g., type of analysis, level of analysis, parameters used) and the procedures for application are summarized. Some government and industrial users of the techniques and recent system applications are identified. Based on review and analysis of the findings, a general method for task analysis on new systems is outlined and the characteristics of a good analysis are identified.
