Whitaker, Leslie and Peters, Leslie J. (1994): Modeling Operational Criteria for Evaluating Speech Communication. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1135-1139.

“Evaluation of systems can be conducted best under controlled circumstances which approximate operational conditions. In the present paper, we have examined this thesis as it applies to the test and evaluation of multi-person systems. Our specific focus has been the development of a conceptual model of speech communication requirements and the study of the impact of degraded speech intelligibility on performance of these multi-person systems. To obtain the control necessary to evaluate performance using speech intelligibility, an electronic circuit was developed and employed in a series of simulated tests of operational tasks. The application of these research findings to the task of system test and evaluation is described in the present paper.”

Whitaker, Leslie, Fox, Starr L. and Peters, Leslie J. (1993): Communication between Crews: The Effects of Speech Intelligibility on Team Performance. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 630-634.

“Speech is a critical method of communication among group members while they are trying to accomplish a task. The present research program is designed to determine the impact of speech communication on performing a variety of communication-intensive tasks. A model describing performance as a function of auditory workload has guided this research. This model states that transmission, linguistic, and individual factors each contribute to auditory workload and hence influence task performance. The current study focused on two transmission factors: speech intelligibility and communication structure. Previous work in this program has reported the performance of two- or three-person crews operating alone to accomplish various tasks. The present study examined the team performance of two crews operating interactively to accomplish more complex tasks. Speech intelligibility was varied from 100% to 25% and was measured using the Modified Rhymes Test. Twelve crews were tested at the Closed Combat Test Bed using M1A2 tank simulators. The results of this study are consistent with those predicted by the auditory workload model; decrements in task performance occur at higher levels of intelligibility for more complex tasks than for less complex tasks. In addition to the task performance measured in this study, verbal protocols taken from recorded transcripts were coded as evidence of the changes in communication structure when speech intelligibility is varied. The implications of these findings for communication using cellular telephones and radio communication are discussed.”

Whitaker, Leslie, Peters, Leslie J. and Mitchell, Jennifer (1992): Measuring Human Performance as a Function of Speech Communication Using the Close Combat Test Bed (CCTB) Facility. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 237-241.

“Auditory communication is critical for the successful completion of many tasks which require information be transmitted among crew members. The purpose of the present program of research is to determine the impact that speech communication has on performance of such tasks. As guidance for this program, a model of auditory communication has been developed. This model describes performance as a function of three factors: transmission, linguistic, and individual. The model assumes that variables affecting these three factors alter the level of auditory workload and task performance is a consequence of this workload (Peters, 1991). The present paper describes the effects of two transmission factors: speech intelligibility and communication structure. Speech intelligibility was measured using the Modified Rhymes Test. Communication structure was defined as command, interrogative, and discussion levels. Three studies have been completed in this research program. The focus of the present paper is the most recent study, completed at the Ft. Knox Close Combat Test Bed, an M1A1 tank simulator facility. After describing the results of this study, the results of all three studies are reviewed and found to be consistent with the auditory-performance model proposed by the authors.”

Peters, Leslie J. (1991): Auditory Performance: A Model to Predict Task Performance as a Function of Auditory Workload: Overview. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 609-613.

“The ability of personnel to communicate accurately is paramount to the successful operation of man-machine systems. Degradation of speech intelligibility leads to misunderstandings, operational errors, and the increased risk of accidents. The qualification of auditory workload is a first attempt at modeling the impact of degraded communication on task performance.”
