Influence Of Referential Coding In A Choice Task Performed In A Simulated Driving Cockpit, Aiping Xiong
Influence Of Referential Coding In A Choice Task Performed In A Simulated Driving Cockpit, Aiping Xiong
Open Access Theses
Driving and other tasks performed by the driver of a vehicle are spatial. Thus, it is important to understand how the driver represents the spatial environment. In laboratory studies, the Simon task is used to study spatial coding. Participants are to make a left or right response to a nonspatial stimulus feature, but the stimulus can occur in a left or right position. The Simon effect is that responses are faster when the stimulus location corresponds with the response location. That effect is not usually found for a go/no-go task in which only one response is made to one of …
The Effect Of Job Performance Aids On Quality Assurance, Erik David Fosshage
The Effect Of Job Performance Aids On Quality Assurance, Erik David Fosshage
Open Access Theses
Job performance aids (JPAs) have been studied for many decades in a variety of disciplines and for many different types of tasks, yet this is the first known research experiment using JPAs in a quality assurance (QA) context. The objective of this thesis was to assess whether a JPA has an effect on the performance of a QA observer performing the concurrent dual verification technique for a basic assembly task. The JPA used in this study was a simple checklist, and the design borrows heavily from prior research on task analysis and other human factors principles. The assembly task and …
