Matthews, Michael L. and McFadden, Sharon M. (1993): Implications of the User's Information Processing Strategy on the Design of Decision Aids for Complex Systems. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 358-362.

“Performance was evaluated in a single and dual task environment which simulated basic tasks carried out by sonar operators, using processed, visual representations of acoustic data. Two general classes of performance functions were obtained. One group of subjects performed at high levels in both single and dual task conditions and responded to increasing demand with increased throughput. The second group showed performance levelling or decrement once information load reached a critical level. The strategies used by the two groups (heuristics/pattern recognition for the former, and serial analysis for the latter) have clear importance for the type of decision aids which need to be provided in future generation sonar systems.”

Matthews, Michael L. (1987): Visual Inspection for Multiple Flaws: Effects of Long-Term Inspector Experience. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1009-1013.

“In a simulation of industrial quality control inspection, performance was tracked over a period of three months using target conditions which had previously been shown to produce performance decrements with multiple flaws. Feedback on performance was supplied to inspectors at the end of each day's work. Results showed that by the end of the period, multiple fault inspection performance was equal to or slightly better, in both accuracy and latency, than previous data obtained with single fault conditions. This finding raises concerns over previous studies which have attempted to address the issue of the supposed performance decrement associated with increasing the size of the target set.”

Matthews, Michael L. and Mertins, Karin (1987): The Influence of Color on Visual Search and Subjective Discomfort using CRT Displays. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1271-1275.

“Visual search and decision making performance together with subjective fatigue were investigated over a four hour time block as a function of display foreground and background chromaticity, using colors matched for equivalent brightness. Although some small differences in performance related to chromaticity were observed, these were not exacerbated over time. On the basis of the performance data obtained and the subjective reports, there would appear to be no support obtained for the general recommendation to avoid the use of red and blue stimuli either alone or in combination in CRT displays.”
