1)Explain the five stages of the human information processing model.

2. The following response-time data (in msec) was obtained on Farmer Julie and her daughter Little Lisa while operating a tractor using the right foot to control the clutch, brake and accelerator. The foot is normally kept on the rest position. The location and sizes of the pedals are shown below as well as some sample response times for activating a given control from the rest position.

What is the Index of difficulty value for each pedal?
What is the simple reaction time for Little Jill?
What is the simple reaction time for Farmer Bill?
What is the bandwidth for Farmer Bill? Hint: unit should be sec/ bit
What is the bandwidth for Little Jill? Hint: unit should be sec/ bit
Which farmer is the better tractor operator? Why?

The US Air Force is trying to hire the best videogame players to run their Predator (drone aircraft) control system. They are trying to decide whether to hire Spec. John Doe or Sgt. Joe Brown. Their performances on a simulated task button pressing task (hand on Start and move to Button A or B as fast as possible) is as follows:

What is the amount of information processing required in pressing Button A and Button B (in bits)? What are the simple reaction times and bandwidths for each person? Who would be best controller for the USAF?
