Modeling the Speech Communication Effect on Performance: Message Complexity

摘要

This document describes a research plan which will lead to the development of amodel that relates speech communication to performance. The experiments to be conducted answer questions about the effect of spoken message set complexity on operational performance. A message set has been defined as the set of all possible response-triggering messages within the boundaries imposed by the situation or setting. First-year and long-term objectives are presented. An experimental paradigm, independent and dependent variables, subject populations, and other details of the experiment are described. Operational definitions of the independent variables are presented. Additionally, a tentative research plan for continued studies is proposed.
