A study in man-machine interaction

Abstract

The performance of users in man-machine interaction (MMI) is described in terms of a number of user- and machine-oriented parameters. The general linear model for experimental design is used as a model of the interaction. Performance measures are selected and a questionnaire developed to gauge user attitudes toward the man-machine system (MMS) and its environment. The interface parameters selected are hypothesized to have a significant effect on the performance and attitude measures.
