Abstract
Two current issues related to operator workload assessment include the effects of operator strategy on levels of load experienced by the operator and the nature of operator information processing capacities and resources. Several current positions related to each of these issues are presented, and implications for workload assessment are discussed. It is concluded that workload is a multidimensional construct which requires the development of an assessment battery which should include subjective, performance-based, and physiological measures.Keywords
