| Abstract |
From the viewpoint of mental workload, the psychologically acceptable lower and upper limits of computer system response time (SRT) in interactive computer tasks were experimentally studied. SRTs longer than about 6sec give high irritation, and SRTs shorter than about 1s give a feeling of being rushed and result in low performance. The results validate the upper limits of response time observed by others, and show that lower limits exist as well. |
