Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context.

An experiment documented the choices of verbal anchors or word triggers by subjects observing five different videotaped work operations. Their surveyed numeric scalings and word selections were compiled to form a list of ten words which are recommended to describe amount or degree of work basing performed. This study acknowledges that there is inherent risk in applying words to work measurement scales, but the list may be helpful as a guide to choosing appropriate words to indicate work content or for job descriptions.
