Vekker, Leo, Allen, John A. and Yufik, Yan (1993): On Psychophysiology of Cognitive Complexity. In: Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1993. pp. 605-610.

“This paper discusses correlation between cognitive processes and subject's physiological conditions. Formation of visual and haptic images, picture recollection, and word association were experimentally examined. Accompanying physiological indicators, however imprecise, displayed regularities, interpreted in this paper in terms of information related energy demands (Vekker, 1976), and more recent models of cognitive complexity (Yufik, 1988). We preface description of experiments by some definitions, to be used in later analysis. This paper distinguishes four cognitive functions: sensation, perception, recollection, and conceptual thinking (Vekker&Allen, 1993). Although addressed distinctly in the experiments, these functions remain, in fact, intimately integrated components of cognitive performance.”

Llaneras, Robert E., Swezey, Robert W. and Allen, John A. (1989): Motion as an Instructional Feature in Maintenance Training. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1305-1309.

“This paper draws upon both an extensive review of the literature, and a series of experiments manipulating motion-based (videotaped) versus static (35-mm slide) presentations of instructional material across a variety of instructional conditions. Performance measures in the experiments included both hands-on tasks and conceptual knowledge tests. Results indicated that electromechanical maintenance performance did not differ significantly between statically and dynamically trained groups across a variety of types and complexities of electromechanical maintenance tasks and instructional strategy conditions.”
