“…However, task distinction may be more explicitly described when tasks are classified as either 'cognitive' or 'manual' (motor) tasks, suggesting that task difficulty is a function of the elements of cognitive and manual components of the task. This distinction was suggested in the experimental paper by Sparks and Yearout (1990). In their paper, an experiment was conducted in order to determine if there is a difference between the forgetting functions of manual versus cognitive tasks.…”

“…The experiment used a low-cognitive pegboard task and a moderately high cognitive computer graph/spreadsheet task. This experiment was modeled after the dual motor and cognitive study of Sparks and Yearout (1990). The time-lost-to-forgetting results obtained in the experiment were compared to results of Globerson et al (1989), where the learning and relearning rates were assumed equal.…”

This thesis examines worker learning and forgetting in dual resource constrained systems according to the dual-phase learning-forgetting model (DPLFM). The contributions are as follows: (1) equations were developed that output controllable shop factors such as training and transfer policies given existing factors such as the degree of job similarity, processing times, and the learning and forgetting rate of the worker, (2) results suggest that the task-type factor with respect to the worker learning rate and proportion of cognitive and motor elements is a factor to include in DRC research, and (3) the results have suggested that the DPLFM emphasized a greater benefit for upfront training and more frequent transfer policy than the learn forget curve model (LFCM) when tasks are similar, and supported the conclusions of Jaber et al. (2003) by an even greater extent that it is possible to use more flexibility in DRC shops with similar tasks.

“…The hypothesis is that there is a difference between learning in the two modes due to the difference between the learning of mechanical tasks (direct manipulation) and mental or cognitive tasks (indirect manipulation). Sparks and Yearout (1990) example of controlling a robotic arm in space from the ground, the process of teaching the operator how to use the video information is essential for successful operation. Vcrtut and Coiffet (1984) suggested two models of teleoperation in the direct and indirect modes, as presented in Figs.…”

Learning in tele-operations

Tcle-operation is used when a task has to be performed in a hostile, unsafe, inaccessible or remote environment. Examples of tclcoperation include the dismantling of bombs by the police and the manipulation of robotic arms in nuclear reactors, in deep seas or in space. Two commonly used methods in tele-operation are direct manipulation and indirect manipulation. In direct manipulation the operator has a direct view of the manipulator and performs mostly mechanical tasks. In indirect manipulation the operator does not have a direct view of the manipulator, and sensors such as closed loop TV systems are used to provide the operator with on-line information. In this ease, manipulation requires mental efforts, since the presentation of the manipulator environment is frequently distorted due to the limited ability of sensors to provide a complete and accurate view of reality. In this study a simple pick and place tele-operation task was performed in the direct and indirect modes by the participating subjects, The analysis of the results show that while the very same learning model can be used to analyze the learning process in both modes, the parameters of the models are significantly different. Thus the duration of the learning process, as well as the most appropriate teaching methodology, may ditTer substantially between the two modes of operation.

“…Shtub, Levin, and Globerson (1993) used the forgetting model and the data of Globerson et al (1989) to partially validate Bailey's hypothesis. In an experiment similar to that of Globerson et al (1989), Sparks and Yearout (1990) analyzed the learning process after the break and the amount of forgetting during the break and concluded that traditional curves developed for mechanical tasks do not reflect the forgetting that occurs in modern industrial tasks. Hewitt, Sprague, Yearout, Lisnerski, and Sparks (1992), who conducted laboratory experiment of participants performing one of two simulated industrial tasks of varying cognitive contents, concluded that one type of learning-forgetting model could not be applied to all tasks.…”

The power integration diffusion model for production breaks.

The learning curve during repetitive production and the associated forgetting during production breaks are fundamental issues in the understanding of behavior. A model is suggested that combines 3 basic findings, namely, that single memory traces decay according to a power function of the retention interval, that aggregated memory traces can be combined by integration, and that the time to produce a unit can be described by a diffusion process on the memory trace. This power integration diffusion model is validated with empirical data, and the result fits better than 14 other published forgetting models.
