Helping the User Fail: Ergonomic Modalities and Distraction
Jul 2010
Performance on cognitive tasks is negatively correlated with subject stress levels. Instrumenting real-time performance feedback (e.g., elapsed time, current "accuracy") into the user- interface (UI) of a computing system affects stress levels and cognitive load, and so, performance.
The purpose of this study is to assess the relative effects of the modality of instrumentation (e.g., graphical, textual, combinations) on performance in the presence/absence of distracters.
