Abstract
This report presents the research and analysis accomplished
in order to develop new concepts of information theory and new
equations that could allow the researcher to compute with more
precision, the amount of information processed by a subject
during the execution of a sequential mental task.
A very sophisticated piece of equipment was used in order
to simulate a sequential task of military nature. The results
of the experiment proved that new equations to compute the
amount of information processed should be used when the task
to be performed implies that the operator has to go through
different levels of "thinking" before he reacts to a stimulus.
