| Abstract |
Data from four independent studies on the measurement of workload in a variety of aviation-related situations are examined. The results support the conclusion that a univariate rating of workload is generally a more sensitive measure of information-processing demands than are linear composites of several individual workload-related factors. Further, if a univariate workload rating is not available, a good estimate can be obtained from the unweighted average of the individual factors. |
