Delft, Jan H. van (1987): The Development of a Response Sequence: A New Description of Human Sampling Behaviour with Multiple Independent Sources of Information. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 151-155.

In almost every process control situation the human supervisor has to attend to many sources of information. With large numbers of information sources the supervisor is forced to divide his attention and to acquire information through sampling. In the 60's and 70's several models of sampling with different criteria for optimal behavior, have been proposed. Behavioral data indicate, however, that human monitoring behavior can show large deviations from optimality. To account for these deviations a new model, based on sequential sampling, is proposed. Experimental testing of this model reveals the development of fixed sampling sequences and the choice of a time base for execution as important performance shaping factors.
