... 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.

Gilliland, Kirby, Schlegel, Robert, Dannels, Sharon and Mills, Scott (1989): Relationship between Intelligence and Criterion Task Set Performance. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 888-890.

Intelligence has been shown to be a mediating factor in the performance of many tasks. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revived (WAIS-R) scores and performance on a multi-task performance battery, the USAF Criterion Task Set (CTS). Performance scores for high and low WAIS-R groups (N=26/group) were compared across each task component of the CTS. Results of this study indicate that there is a fairly strong relationship between intelligence, as measured by WAIS-R, and performance on the CTS central processing tasks. Subjects scoring high on the WAIS-R are likely to be more accurate and faster in their responses than subjects who scored low on the WAIS-R. Verbal and performance subscales of the WAIS-R did not appear to mediate task performance differentially. In general, WAIS-R performance does not seem to be related to perceptual input tasks or motor/output tasks of CTS battery.

Schlegel, Betina, Schlegel, Robert E. and Gilliland, Kirby (1988): Gender Differences in Criterion Task Set Performance and Subjective Ratings. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 848-852.

This paper summarizes gender differences in performing various elements of the Criterion Task Set. Performance data and Subjective Workload Assessment Technique ratings were analyzed for 28 men and 28 women who participated in a large-scale CTS validation study. In general, women tended to perform slightly better than men on the majority of tasks. In particular, performance by women was better on Grammatical Reasoning, Linguistic Processing, Mathematical Processing, and Memory Search. Response times on Probability Monitoring were faster for women but at the expense of a greater number of False Alarms. Men performed better only on the high level of Continuous Recall and the medium level of Unstable tracking. Women tended to give lower subjective ratings than men to those tasks with a high memory component and gave higher ratings than men to those tasks involving input/output spatial elements.

Schlegel, Robert E., Gilliland, Kirby and Schlegel, Betina (1987): Factor Structure of the Criterion Task Set. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 389-393.

A large-scale experimental study was conducted involving the training and testing of 123 human subjects on the Criterion Task Set (Version 1.0). Testing was performed under baseline and stressor conditions. The performance data and Subjective Workload Assessment Technique ratings for the first baseline trial (Trail 6) were analyzed using the SAS VARCLUS procedure to evaluate the structure of the CTS. Seven clusters of response time variables were identified for the nine tasks. In general, the Memory Search, Linguistic Processing and Mathematical Processing tasks were grouped in one cluster with each of the other clusters representing a single task. Five clusters were identified for the SWAT ratings with clusters differentiated along the dimensions of task difficulty and processing stage.

Gilliland, Kirby, Schlegel, Robert and Dannels, Sharon (1987): Relationship between Criterion Task Set Performance and the Personality Variables of Sensation Seeking and Stimulus Screening. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 402-404.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the utility of the Criterion Task Set (CTS) as a method for personality theory testing. Subjects in a large CTS standardization study were administered the Sensation Seeking scale and the Stimulus Screening scale, two personality dimensions based theoretically on perceptual or biological processes that are believed to mediate task performance. Results indicated that high sensation seekers respond faster, but not necessarily more accurately, than low sensation seekers to central processing tasks. No differences were found for input/perceptual or motor/output tasks. Also, no differences were found between screeners and nonscreeners for any CTS tasks. The results of this study suggest that the CTS can be used profitably by personality researchers to test the basic assumptions of the theories of some personality dimensions.
