This book deals with theories of multiple-task performance and focuses on learning and performance. It is primarily for professionals in human factors, psychology, or engineering who are interested in multiple-task performance but have no formal training in the area.
Part I: Models and methodology
1. Processing resources and attention
2.
A review of the engineering models of information-processing and
decision-making in multi-task supervisory control
3. Modeling the acquisition
of dualtask skill in a connectionist/control architecture
4.
connectionist/control architecture Part II: Learning and performance
5.
Issues for acquisition and transfer of timesharing and dual-task skills
6.
Multiple cue probability learning and the design of inforirtation displays
for multiple tasks
7. Vigilance and monitoring for multiple signals
8. Motor
constraints in dualtask performance Part III: Mental workload
9. Workload
assessment in multitask environments
10. Performance-based and subjective
assessment of workload in multitask environments
11. Physiological metrics
of mental workload: A review of recent progress
12. Psychophysiological
assessment of workload in multitask environments Part IV: Individual
differences
13. Individual differences in multiple-task performance
14.
Aging, divided attention, and dual-task performance
15. Development of
skilled performance: An agerelated perspective
