Abstract
This paper presents the experimental study into the variation in decision-making ability of correcting involuntary errors, while performing two-stage Combined Manual and Decision Tasks (CMDTs). The purpose was to investigate the effect of Information Load (H) and Time Lag (TL) on decision time required for error correction. Nine subjects were tested in a 3 × 3 × 9 completely randomized factorial design.It was also found that for a given value of (TL) the mean decision time increased as (H) increased. Fora given value of (H) the mean decision time decreased as (TL) increased.
