TL;DR: In this article, the results of a multi-year research program to identify the factors associated with variations in subjective workload within and between different types of tasks are reviewed, including task-, behavior-, and subject-related correlates of subjective workload experiences.
Abstract: The results of a multi-year research program to identify the factors associated with variations in subjective workload within and between different types of tasks are reviewed. Subjective evaluations of 10 workload-related factors were obtained from 16 different experiments. The experimental tasks included simple cognitive and manual control tasks, complex laboratory and supervisory control tasks, and aircraft simulation. Task-, behavior-, and subject-related correlates of subjective workload experiences varied as a function of difficulty manipulations within experiments, different sources of workload between experiments, and individual differences in workload definition. A multi-dimensional rating scale is proposed in which information about the magnitude and sources of six workload-related factors are combined to derive a sensitive and reliable estimate of workload.

TL;DR: A theory of learned sequential behavior is presented, with a focus on coarticulatory phenomena in speech, implemented as a recurrent parallel distributed processing network that is trained via a generalized error-correcting algorithm.
Abstract: A theory of learned sequential behavior is presented, with a focus on coarticulatory phenomena in speech. The theory is implemented as a recurrent parallel distributed processing network that is trained via a generalized error-correcting algorithm. The basic idea underlying the theory is that both serial order and coarticulatory overlap can be represented in terms of relative levels of activation in a network if a clear distinction is made between the state of the network and the output of the network.

TL;DR: In this article, a subjective scaling approach, the Subjective Workload Assessment Technique (SWAT), is proposed to capture the multidimensional nature of mental workload, which can be largely explained by three component factors: Time Load, Mental Effort Load, and Psychological Stress Load.
Abstract: Mental workload is proposed to be a multidimensional construct that can be largely explained by three component factors: Time Load, Mental Effort Load, and Psychological Stress Load. In this paper, we describe a subjective scaling approach, the Subjective Workload Assessment Technique (SWAT), that captures this multidimensional nature of mental workload. We describe the SWAT procedure as a two-phased method that includes (a) a scale development phase based on conjoint measurement and nonmetric scaling, and (b) an event scoring phase. The development of SWAT and its measurement foundations are discussed. Recent research illustrating SWAT's widespread utility and its sensitivity as a measure of perceived mental workload is summarized.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided suggesting that one classically-defined source of information for movement, namely proprioception, may not be dimension-specific in its contribution to coordination and control.
Abstract: In this paper we pursue the argument that where a group of muscles functions as a single unit the resulting coordinative structure, to a first approximation, exhibits behavior qualitatively like that of a force-driven mass-spring system. Data are presented illustrating the generative and context-independent characteristics of this system in tasks that require animals and humans to produce accurate limb movements in spite of unpredictable changes in initial conditions, perturbations during the movement and functional deafferentation. Analogous findings come from studies of articulatory compensation in speech production. Finally we provide evidence suggesting that one classically-defined source of information for movement, namely proprioception, may not be dimension-specific in its contribution to coordination and control.
