Workload capacity spaces: a unified methodology for response time measures of efficiency as workload is varied.
Increasing the number of available sources of information may impair or facilitate performance, depending on the capacity of the processing system. Tests performed on response time distributions are proving to be useful tools in determining the workload capacity (as well as other properties) of cognitive systems. In this article, we develop a framework and relevant mathematical formulae that re...
متن کاملConverging measures of workload capacity.
Does processing more than one stimulus concurrently impede or facilitate performance relative to processing just one stimulus? This fundamental question about workload capacity was surprisingly difficult to address empirically until Townsend and Nozawa (1995) developed a set of nonparametric analyses called systems factorial technology. We develop an alternative parametric approach based on the...
متن کاملStatistical measures for workload capacity analysis.
A critical component of how we understand a mental process is given by measuring the effect of varying the workload. The capacity coefficient (Townsend & Nozawa, 1995; Townsend & Wenger, 2004) is a measure on response times for quantifying changes in performance due to workload. Despite its precise mathematical foundation, until now rigorous statistical tests have been lacking. In this paper, w...
متن کاملA workload characterization methodology for WWW applications
With the World Wide Web WWW tra c being the fastest growing portion of load on the internet describing and characterizing this workload is a central issue for any performance evaluation study In this paper we present an approach for generating a pro le of requests submitted to a WWW server GET POST which takes explicitly into account the user behavior when sur ng the WWW i e navigating through ...
متن کاملModels of Mental Workload 3 Subjective Measures of Mental Workload
The primary objective of this research project was to investigate models for monitoring and predicting subjective workload in the control of complex systems. Such models would enable systems to use workload levels to distribute tasks optimally in addition to identifying levels of workload which could lead to a serious breakdown in performance. In the aircraft-pilot system, for example, such cap...
