“…Three of these tasks correspond to Donder's (1868) model of reaction time measure types: simple reaction time (SRT; stimulus detection followed by response), disjunctive reaction time (DRT; stimulus detection followed by sensory discrimination and response), and choice reaction time (CRT; correct choice or response selection added to DRT) (Companion & Corso, 1982;Grice, Nullmayor, & Spiker, 1982). These three tasks all measured response times to visually presented stimuli.…”

Six tasks administered on a MINC·ll minicomputer were used in studying the effects of long, continuous work periods and fatigue on physical and cognitive task performance. Submaximal physiological workload measurement was done during one of these tasks for a subject walking on a treadmill. The MINC·II system is described, as are the six tasks programs. Four of these tasks measured various types of reaction times, another involved complex information processing, and one appraised moods, physical symptoms, fatigue, and the physiological status of subjects.Laboratory measurements of changes in human performance during continuous (sustained) work had been carried out before the widespread availability of digital

“…Rasmussen (1980) supports the increasingly popular concept of providing information selectively based on the operator's cognitive needs in light of task demands. The problem is that the state of the art in cognitive task taxonomizing is still extremely primitive and controversial (Companion & Corso, 1982;Fleishman & Quaintance, 1984;Meister, 1985). In short, there is currently no way to predict reliably what an individual's cognitive needs will be in a particular situation.…”
