13 Questions
What is the purpose of creating models in the context of human performance?
To capture essential components and allow a closer look
Which approach is fundamentally an inductive process for creating models of human performance?
Observation, data collection, pattern finding, model devising
What does the Visual System Model describe in the context of human performance?
The passage of light through the lens, focusing on the retina, and processing by the brain
According to Fitts’s Law, what does a better model lead to?
More accurate predictions
What is a key feature of a good model of human performance?
Avoiding underfitting or overfitting the model
What is the main function of the Human Processor model in human performance studies?
Isolating essential components and allowing a closer look at human processing
Which light-sensitive receptors are primarily responsible for night vision and perceiving movement?
Rods
What is the main function of cones in the retina?
Sensing color
Why are blue edges and shapes hard to detect according to the text?
Because of the absence of blue cones in the retina center
What is the main reason for reduced sensitivity to blue as mentioned in the text?
Age-related yellowing of the lens
Which photopigment type is sensitive to a different band of the spectrum?
Blue
What is the ratio used to calculate continuous perception of color based on neural activity stimulation?
Y = 0.3 Red + 0.59 Green + 0.11 Blue
What does the aging of the lens result in with regard to color sensitivity?
Reduced sensitivity to blue light
