Abstract

The post-1965 literature on the use of secondary tasks in the assessment of operator workload was surveyed. Twelve classes of tasks were identified; the most frequently used were choice reaction time, memory, monitoring, and tracking. The literature review did not suggest a single best task or class of tasks for the measurement of workload. Limitations in using secondary tasks are discussed, and directions for future research are presented.
