Human Information Processing under Varying Task Demand

Abstract

Experiments on the rate of human information transmission show that the relation ship between performance and demand, depends upon time history of demand; beyond overload, performance does not recover at the expected rate as demand is reduced. The resulting ‘ hysteresis ’ effect increases after moderate doses of alcohol. Some implications of these results in real-life situations are discussed.
