“ ... 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. ”

Kass, Steven J., Herschler, Daniel A. and Companion, Michael A. (1990): Are They Shooting at Me?: An Approach to Training Situational Awareness. In: D., Woods, and E., Roth, (eds.) Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 34th Annual Meeting 1990, Santa Monica, USA. pp. 1352-1356.

The training approach suggested by this study is to expose subjects initially to only those cues relevant to the task.

Companion, Michael A. and Corso, Gregory M. (1982): Task Taxonomies: A General Review and Evaluation. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 17 (4) pp. 459-472.

“The purpose, procedures and issues involved in the development of a task taxonomy were reviewed. A consequence of that review was the development of a set of criteria by which specific task taxonomies can be evaluated and contrasted. Additionally, four general and five specific task taxonomies were reviewed. The specific task taxonomies were evaluated and contrasted using the proposed criteria. From that analysis, it was concluded that future taxonomic efforts must re-evaluate the relative importance of taxonomic development versus the integration of empirical data into a useful, predictive tool.”
