| Abstract |
This report presents an analysis of the behavioural patterns during the performance of different tasks when working with a word processor, in order to obtain better criteria for the description of this kind of workload. Eye and head movements were recorded in conjunction with the keys typed. This allowed the quantification of the visual and mental processes during this kind of work. The observed complex behavioural pattern points to the necessity of more legible screen characters, better break schedules and improved job design. Summaries in English, German and French. |
