Abstract
The information processing rate is an important indicant of
how well a naval systems operator will perform a complex task.
The complex task used for this experiment was a highly sophisticated
psychomotor- testing instrument designed to provide
sensitive, reliable measurement of response speed, accuracy
and short term memory which incorporated four delay modes.
Analysis of the data collected from twenty subjects showed
that as the mental functions of the task became more complex,
then more information was processed. The additional increase
of information was not detected using simple information processing
techniques.
These results supported the previous findings of Van Gigch
who initially approached the problem.
