Damos, Diane L. (1989): Examining Motorcycle Conspicuity through Recall of Traffic Events: A Preliminary Study. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 915-917.

“Familiarity with motorcycles may be related to their conspicuity. A survey was constructed that approached the idea of conspicuity through the recall of various traffic scenarios. Respondents were classified as either motorcycle owners or non owners. Motorcycle owners were more familiar with the characteristics of motorcycles than nonowners and believed that they had seen more motor scooters in the last 7 days.”

Damos, Diane L. (1988): Determining Transfer of Training Using Curve Fitting. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1276-1279.

“The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the measurement of learning and transfer using a curve-fitting technique discussed in a 1985 Human Factors article by Spears. The data were collected during an experiment that determined if rotation skills could become automated with practice and if the skills could transfer between stimuli. The dependent variables of interest were the slope and intercept of the regression equation relating correct reaction time and degrees of rotation. Curve fitting was accomplished using a common statistical package, BMDP, and an IBM-XT. The curve-fitting technique showed large initial transfer of training on several variables that did not affect the asymptotic level of performance. In contrast standard transfer of training calculations indicated small positive transfer.”

Grose, Eric M. and Damos, Diane L. (1988): Automaticity and the Transfer of Mental Rotation Skills. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1280-1284.

“Two experiments are presented that examine automaticity and transfer of mental rotation skills. The data from these experiments were analyzed using a curve fitting technique that represents a departure from traditional methods used to analyze transfer. The first experiment demonstrated significant positive transfer from one letter stimulus to another. The second experiment examined the transfer of rotation skills from a letter to an abstract shape. Both experiments indicated mental rotation skills may become automatic with practice.”
