Sinossi
Excerpt from A Computer Terminal Network for Transparent Stimulation of the User of an on-Line Retrieval System
Supervisors of computer users normally are (or should be) interested in how productive the users are (or could be) when inter acting with computer systems for various purposes. From that standpoint, it may be that a user should not necessarily be provided instantaneous response time, for example, in order to be most effective. Perhaps, as considered by Boehm et a114, a lockout or deliberate delay in response can enhance. The problem-solving thought processes required for certain computer-aided tasks. The user may be frustrated by such delays, but he might be more productive.
On the other hand, since we live in a society in which the rights and well-being of the individual should be important, we should reckon with that ind'ividual's preferences in the context of computer assistance. This does not have to be detrimental to productivity, since we know that an interdependence, albeit very complex in nature, between productivity and human satisfaction exists. If we want the computer user to be both effective and satisfied, we should consider him personally to be a valuable source of data for experimental determination of his levels of effectiveness and satisfaction.
But how should this source of information be tapped? Conventional questionnaire and interview techniques have frequently been used in the past. These have, however, been variously criticized (especially in the area of information storage and retrieval) as amounting to Opinion polls of questionable dependability. Humans are, after all, recognized as having numerous inconsistencies, memory failures, biases, etc which tend to have strong bearings on how they might fill out a questionnaire.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling read for those interested in understanding the increasingly important relationship between humans and computers. The author, who has extensive academic and technical experience in the field, has designed and implemented a system that allows researchers to monitor and stimulate interactions between users and computer systems. The book outlines the importance of addressing interface improvements between humans and computers. The author makes a valid point that even today, most systems are designed by IT specialists who are more invested in the technical capabilities of a system than in meeting the needs of the human user. The author's research aims to address this imbalance by identifying and verifying the specific natural human characteristics that should be reinforced during the design process. Specifically, the study focuses on online information retrieval. The book presents a thoughtful and thought-provoking framework for understanding the human-computer relationship, with a particular focus on analyzing the user-system interface. It presents a reasonable and testable sub-hypothesis for how to approach this complex and confounding issue. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for professionals in the field of human factors in computer systems as well as anyone interested in learning more about the complex and fascinating relationship between humans and computers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781390511659_0
