Human-centric predictive model of task difficulty for human-in-the-loop control tasks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Quantitatively measuring the difficulty of a manipulation task in human-in-the-loop control systems is ill-defined. Currently, systems are typically evaluated through task-specific performance measures and post-experiment user surveys; however, these ...

Temporal predictability does not impact attentional blink performance: effects of fixed vs. random inter-trial intervals [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Does the inclusion of a randomized inter-trial interval (ITI) impact performance on an Attentional Blink (AB) task? The AB phenomenon is often used as a test of transient attention (Dux & Marois, 2009); however, it is unclear whether ...

Task difficulty in speaking tests [PDF]
Language Testing, 2003 The difficulty of speaking tasks has only recently become a topic of investigation in language testing. This has been prompted by work on discourse variability in second language acquisition (SLA) research, new classificatory systems for describing tasks, and the advent of statistical techniques that enable the prediction of task difficulty.
