Meeting
-10.23.03
- Welcome to the 2nd HF/E meeting
- Everyone introduced themselves
- Naira Campbell introduced the speaker
- Guest Speaker: Dr. Richard Jagacinski
(Department of Psychology, OSU)
- Subject: Approaches to Measuring
Multi-Task Performance
- Abstract: This talk examined different
strategies for measuring multi-task performance and characterizing the
strategies that performers use to cope with task complexity. Topics included
measuring the limits of stable performance, measuring progression-regression
effects corresponding to learning and stress, distinguishing task
integration and task decomposition strategies, and the role of perception in
facilitating performance. It has been argued that perceptual motor tasks
often have a strong cognitive component.
- Research interests: Dr. Jagacinski’s
research interets are in perceptual-motor coordination and decision making
in dynamic contexts with special emphasis on older adults. More generally,
he is intrested in adaptive control theory and nonlinear dynamical systems
and their implications for the cognitive representations that underlie
skilled performance. These theoretical perspectives emphasize the stability
of a behavior as an important property that needs to be explicitly modeled.
He is also intrested in human factors and ergonomics and how these areas can
benefit from research in cognitive science.
