“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

Wilson, Glenn F. and McCloskey, Kathy (1988): Using Probe Evoked Potentials to Determine Information Processing Demands. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1400-1403.

“In the present study, three different types of probe evoked potential (EP) techniques were examined using a mental math task with three levels of difficulty. One probe condition consisted of presenting flashes at 5 sec intervals during the performance of each task level. The other conditions were designed such that probe flashes were presented at 250 and 750 msec after the onset of each mental math task item. Baseline (no task) measurements were taken for all three probe conditions. Subjects were 6 males and 4 females who participated in an earlier study (Yolton, Wilson, Davis and McCloskey, 1987), and were recalled for the present experiment. Results of the RT data replicated those found in Yolton, et al (1987), where RT increased as task level increased. The EPs obtained from each of the probe conditions showed different patterns of variation with task demand. The 5 sec probe showed differences between the no-task baseline and all other levels of the task, but not between task levels. The 250 msec probe EPs showed graded changes with task level, whereas the 750 msec probe EPs were similar to those found with the 5 sec probe EPs. These measures support the notion that probe EPs are not only measures of tonic activity, but are also measures of phasic activity. To index phasic activity, probes must be present during relevant times during task performance. The usefulness of this technique is discussed in terms of moment-to-moment fluctuations of processing demands in applied situations.”

Yolton, Robert L., Wilson, Glenn, Davis, Iris and McCloskey, Kathy (1987): Physiological Correlates of Behavioral Performance on the Mathematical Processing Subtest of the CTS Battery. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 770-773.

“To assess the relationship between behavioral, subjective and physiological measures of mental workload, 10 adult subjects solved equations with 1, 2 or 3 plus or minus operators (the Math Processing subtest of the CTS battery). Following extensive training, individual test sessions were held during which reaction times, subject workload ratings and a set of physiological measures were recorded. Reaction times and subjective workload ratings increased with the number of operators in the equations, but heart rhythm, eye blinks and peripheral temperature showed no systematic relationships to the number of operators. The P-300 event related potential decreased in amplitude and latency and a late position component recorded at Cz decreased in amplitude and increased in latency as the number of operators in the equations was increased.”

McCloskey, Kathy (1987): Evaluating a Spatial Task: Behavioral, Subjective, and Physiological Correlates. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 774-778.

“A spatial task, taken from the Criterion Task Set (CTS) battery, was used to examine task load effects on a variety of physiological indices. This task had been shown with earlier validation data (reaction time and subjective ratings) to possess three different levels of task load (Shingledecker, 1984). Task event-related evoked potentials (EPs), heart rate and heart rate variability, and eyeblink measures were obtained while ten subjects performed the three levels of the spatial task. The amplitudes of the P2, N2, and P3 of the EPs differentiated between the low task level, and the medium and high. Medium and high did not differentiate. The latencies of the N1, N2, and P3 were shorter for the low task level than for the medium and high. Again, medium and high did not differentiate. The amplitude and latency of the EP components suggest that this task possesses only two levels of information processing complexity. Heart rate and heart rate variability did not differentiate between task levels, only between a no-task baseline and all other levels of the task. Both heart rate indices did show a time-on-task effect, suggesting that these measures are good indicators of overall bodily arousal. None of the eyeblink measures showed sensitivity to any levels of the task.”
