TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Individual differences in timesharing performance JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Damos, Diane L. SP - 373 EP - 373 VL - 22 IS - 1 N2 - Individuals involved in training operators of complex systems have observed that trainees differ widely in the time they require to learn a multiple-task job and their terminal level of performance. Individual differences in performance under multiple-task conditions also have been noted to be larger than corresponding differences in single-task performance. These differences have been attributed to timesharing skills, skills required only in the multiple-task situation. Timesharing skills include such skills as parallel information processing, rapid intertask switching, and efficient response strategies.
