Effect of physical workload and modality of information presentation on pattern recognition and navigation task performance by high-fit young males

Zahabi, M., Zhang, W., Pankok, C., Lau, M. Y., Shirley, J., & Kaber, D. (2017, April 28). Ergonomics.

By: M. Zahabi n, W. Zhang n, C. Pankok  n, M. Lau n, J. Shirley n & D. Kaber n

author keywords: Physical exertion; sensory modalities; cognitive task performance; pattern recognition; navigation
MeSH headings : Acoustic Stimulation; Adolescent; Adult; Cognition; Cues; Humans; Male; Occupational Health; Pattern Recognition, Physiological; Photic Stimulation; Physical Exertion; Physical Fitness; Reaction Time; Spatial Navigation; Task Performance and Analysis; Touch; Vibration; Workload / psychology; Young Adult
topics (OpenAlex): Human-Automation Interaction and Safety; Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal Disorders; Safety Warnings and Signage
TL;DR: Findings indicated that use of the haptic modality for cognitive task cueing decreased accuracy in pattern recognition responses, and the visual modality appears most effective under high level exertion while haptic cueing degrades performance. (via Semantic Scholar)
