Abstract
A visual search paradigm was used to examine the effects of status information automation cueing in a target detection task. Manual and information automation conditions were manipulated with the size of the distractor set. Participants were required to respond to the presence or absence of a target in a time-limited trial. In the information automation condition, status information regarding target presence was presented to the participant. The participants were informed that the information automation was not perfectly reliable. A significant detection performance improvement was observed with the addition of the information automation. This improvement was more marked in the condition with the higher number of distractors. Additionally, detection performance declined when the information automation was invalid, without a corresponding increase in subjective measures of workload or confidence. Implications of the results and future studies are discussed.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
