Abstract

An experiment was conducted to explore the transfer of training between visual lobe measurement tasks and visual search tasks. The study demonstrated that lobe practice improved the visual lobe, which in turn resulted in improved visual search performance. The implication is that visual lobe practice on carefully chosen targets can provide an effective training strategy in visual search and inspection. Results obtained from this research will help us in devising superior strategies for a whole range of tasks that have a visual search component (e.g., industrial inspection, military target acquisition). Use of these strategies, will ultimately lead to superior search performance.
