Abstract

The mode and design of instruction presentation have a high impact on human task performance. Especially in a working context, instruction modes have to be developed according to the properties of human information processing like attentional selection and action planning. Accordingly, tasks have to be divided in subtasks in order to find the best way to support each subprocess. The present study presents an experimental setup and first results in order to investigate the impact of different instruction modes on the first goal-directed movement during an assembly task. Results are discussed with respect to implications for instruction presentation and the development of a system for adaptive worker assistance.
