Factor Structure of the Criterion Task Set
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1987-09-01)
A large-scale experimental study was conducted involving the training and testing of 123 human subjects on the Criterion Task Set (Version 1.0). Testing was performed under baseline and stressor conditions. The performance ...
Training Characteristics of the Criterion Task Set Workload Assessment Battery
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1985-10-01)
An evaluation of the Criterion Task Set was performed to determine the training requirements for the various tasks. Twenty subjects were divided into four groups. One group trained on all nine tasks in the battery. The ...
Diagnosis of Low Back Injury Using Strength Measurement
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1984-10-01)
A study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of using strength measurement as a diagnostic technique for assessing low back injuries involving symptomatic lumbar spine disease. The approach was to evaluate differences ...
Speed-Accuracy Tradeoffs in Spatial Orientation Information Processing
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1983-10-01)
A study was conducted to further evaluate the Manikin Task, a test of spatial orientation information processing. The objectives of the study were to determine the speed vs. accuracy tradeoff characteristics of the task ...
Application of a Predictive Coke Temperature Model to Heat Stress Experimentation
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1980-10-01)
An interactive procedure for evaluating and maintaining an individual's core temperature at a predetermined level was developed and tested. The procedure involved the use of previously developed models for predicting core ...
Development of the Criterion Task Set Performance Data Base
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1986-09-01)
The initial phase of a large-scale experimental study was conducted involving the training and testing of fifty human subjects on the Criterion Task Set (Version 1.0). Testing was performed under baseline conditions and ...
A Prediction Model for Consumer Behavior regarding Product Safety
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1986-09-01)
The objective of this study was the development of a model to predict whether a consumer would use a product safely as a function of sixteen different individual variables. Subjects were presented with four consumer products ...
Observations on Infrared Radiation at the Workplace
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1980-10-01)
A discussion of the use of radiant heating in sedentary workplaces is presented. The advantages of the approach with respect to energy conservation are emphasized along with accompanying effects on worker comfort and ...
