The Impact of Inspector’s Cognitve Style on Performance in Varous Visual Inspection Display Tasks

Abstract

Three aspects of visual inspection were considered in this study. The three aspects considered to effect inspection performance are (1) cognitive styles, (2) feedforward training (job aid), and (3) pacing. In this study, the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT) was administered and the basic (control), static (self- pacing), and hybrid (systematic pacing) displays were used to investigate the pacing effect. The objective was to classify the inspectors into different categories via the MFFT based on their cognitive styles, and also to investigate inspection performance (accuracy and response time) affected by the job aids as cognitive styles. The results indicate that the MFFT is effective in all task conditions. The job aid was also found to have a positive impact on the overall performance.

Exploring The Effect of Visual Information Degradation on Human Perception and Performance In A Human-Telerobot System

“…As technology evolves, people are gradually realizing that robots can be designed to eliminate firefighters' exposure to fire, toxic smoke and being injured or killed. Characteristic tasks for mobile robots in the context of search and rescue missions are the exploration of unknown regions (Driewer at al., 2005;Schnieders et al, 2019, Stone, Schnieders, & Zhong, 2018Stone, et al, 2019;Stone, Zhong, & Schnieders, 2017;Stone, et al, 2016). The remote operator provides guidance and keeps track of the overall situation in a safe place outside the disaster area.…”
