“ ... 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. ”

Corso, Gregory M., Hodge, Kevin A. and Fisk, Arthur D. (1992): Learning in Consistent Search-Detection Tasks: Type of Search (Memory vs. Visual) Determines Type of Learning. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 1306-1310.

“The theoretical and practical importance of search paradigms has been well established. This experiment was designed to extend understanding of learning processes in search tasks. Subjects trained under memory, visual, or hybrid memory/visual search conditions and then either transferred to a different search condition (e.g., train on memory, transfer to visual search) or served as controls (e.g., train on memory, transfer to memory search). Asymmetrical transfer was observed. These results have implications for current theories of attention as well as applicability in training situations.”

Hodge, Kevin A. and Fisk, Arthur D. (1989): Transfer of Training as a Function of Semantic Relatedness in a Category Search Task. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1253-1257.

“It has been demonstrated that highly trained, automatic processes can transfer across certain memory search tasks; the degree to which these processes may be exhibited in visual search tasks has not been established, however. We examined this issue by testing the transfer of highly trained, automatized components of a semantic category, visual search task to stimulus situations of varying degrees of relatedness. We developed an adaptive version of the multiple-frame detection task (Schneider and Shiffrin, 1977) in order to test performance at the limits of visual search capacity. During training, frame-time was the dependent variable and was determined by each participant's performance ability. Each received 6,090 trials on exemplars from a single semantic category. Transfer consisted of two sessions, 330 trials per session. Transfer performance reveals that participants became highly proficient at the”

Hodge, Kevin A. and Fisk, Arthur D. (1989): Toward an Understanding of Skill Decay: Retention of Automatic Component Processes. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1258-1262.

“This investigation addresses fundamental aspects of the reliability and stability of both basic cognitive functions and automatic processing components of skills. In the present experiment we investigated the pattern of component skill retention (or decay) exhibited after training on automatic and controlled processing task components. Participants were trained on a hybrid memory/visual, semantic-category search task and received low (720 trials, moderate (2,160 trials) and high (4,320 trials) amounts of consistently mapped (CM) training plus variable mapped (VM) training (720 trials). Retention was tested at five time interval: one day, 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and 365 days following training. Critical data for this investigation involve the pattern of performance decay across conditions and retention intervals. After an initial decline in the first 30 days following training, performance in CM conditions remained stable from Day 30 to Day 365. VM performance was erratic. The present research has practical and theoretical significance for elucidation of the mechanisms underlying long-term retention of automatic processes. Specification of these mechanisms is essential in the attempt to predict performance after a period of inactivity, to determine what constitutes appropriate refresher training, and to designate which skill components to emphasize during training.”
