People who show good performance in dynamic complex problem-solving tasks can also make errors. Theories of human error fail to fully explain when and why performers err. Some theories would predict that these errors are some extent the consequence difficulties people have adapting new unexpected environmental conditions. However, such cannot conditions lead error, while others do not. There defend notion more cognitively flexible better able adapt fact is they sometimes face those This...

Abstract The literature on assessing the cognitive processes involved in hypertext comprehension during past 15 years has yielded contradictory results. In this article we explore a possible factor affecting situation, mainly fact that previous works did not control for potential effects of reading strategies hypertext. Experiment 1, results showed selectively affect textbase and situation model level. number different nodes read affected textbase, whereas order influenced model. 2, analysis...

Abstract Our eyes are always in motion. Even during periods of relative fixation we produce so‐called ‘fixational eye movements’, which include microsaccades, drift and tremor. Mental fatigue can modulate saccade dynamics, but its effects on microsaccades unknown. Here asked human subjects to perform a prolonged demanding visual search task (a simplified air traffic control task), with two difficulty levels, under both free‐viewing conditions. Saccadic microsaccadic velocity decreased...

For research and applications in the field of (neuro)ergonomics, it is increasing importance to have reliable methods for measuring mental workload. In present study we examined hypothesis that saccadic eye movements can be used an online assessment workload.Saccadic main sequence (amplitude, duration peak velocity) was as a diagnostic measure workload virtual driving task with three complexity levels. We tested 18 drivers SIRCA simulator while their were recorded. The Wickens' multiple...

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) and Pathfinder techniques for assessing changes in the structural representation (RP) of a knowledge (KN) domain as function learning were compared evaluated. Relatedness ratings, collected from university students before after they studied textbook, analyzed with both MDS procedures. ratings students'instructors, similarity between instructors' RPs those their provided evidence

Abstract Performance in dynamic complex problem tasks is affected by cognitive inflexibility, whereby people are sometimes unable to adapt their strategies unexpected changes surroundings. This inflexibility only affects a person's performance when the environmental relevant particular problem-solving strategy that they using. paper describes new methodology detect flexibility use of and presents an experiment designed test hypothesis, proving type training flexibility.

Cued recall with word stems as cues and fragment completion rely on different types of letter also differ in the explicit-implicit nature retrieval orientation. Despite these differences, variables effective one task may be other because both cues. Two known to affect cued were manipulated: Lexical set size (number words that fit cue) meaning associates generated studied words). Across four experiments, subjects each less likely recover targets from larger lexical sets. However, affected but...

People worldwide are increasingly acquiring collections of virtual possessions. While possessions have become ubiquitous, little work exists on how people value and form attachments to these things. To investigate, we conducted a study with 48 young adults from South Korea, Spain the United States. The probed participants' perceived their as compared material things, comparative similarities differences across cultures. Findings show that live in unfinished spaces they often experience sense...
