摘要:A simplified pins-into-holes assembly task was used to study the interrelation of perceptual processes and work movements, by varying the locus of a perceptual cue within a repetitive patterned motion. First, it is apparent that a perceptually loaded component takes significantly longer than its counterpart which involves less perceptual load. Secondly, placing a perceptual cue in one part of a work cycle not only affects the duration of that part of the cycle, but also significantly affects t...

摘要:Comcon (all can communicate to each), star (all communicate to one) and slash (each can communicate to several, but not to all) communication nets were studied with respect to their effects on group behavior when groups were required to operate in the same net over a period of several days. While the comcon groups developed predominantly an each-to-all organization, and the star a central organization, the slash appeared to be completely disorganized.
