Abstract:

This report presents research examining human-computer interaction in a procedural-type task. The research was done to gain further insight into developing interfaces for computer-based procedures that support and enhance human performance. Specifically, this research examined how to minimize location errors, by proper design of computer-based procedures. Thirty-nine subjects participated in a 2 × 2 mixed factorial design experiment. The experiment involved locating objects via computerized procedures, and tested video and audio location cueing. Results showed that the cued condition was faster than the non-cued condition. Results also indicated that the visual mode was faster than the auditory mode, although the auditory mode was preferred. These results are significant for the design of computer-based procedures that involve location information.
