An investigation was conducted to determine if performance on a keeping-track task could be enhanced by redundantly coding the displayed information channels that were being updated. At set intervals, the subject was interrogated about the status of any one of the information channels. The information consisted of numbers, colors, or numbers on a colored background, the last being the redundantly coded material. The three variables studied were channel value, payoff ratio, and coding condition. Results indicated that redundant coding did not aid performance; rather, it provided the subjects extra cues and increased the number of strategies that were used. As in previous studies, selective attention to the high-valued channels was a function of channel value and payoff ratio.
Performance in keeping track of several channels of information was investigated as a function of payoff ratio, display format, stimulus on-time, load, and channel payoff value in a 4 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 mixed design. Each of 32 subjects was instructed to keep track of the status of a six-or ten-channel display. On alternate trials, a subject either was presented with a new piece of information or was interrogated about the present status of a channel. Analysis of the results indicated significant payoff-ratio, format, stimulus on-time, load, and value effects, as well as a significant load × value interaction. Results suggested that the greater the load on the operator and the greater the disparity between high- and low-valued information, the more likely selectivity of information is to occur. In addition, the probability of a correct response was investigated as a function of the time the information had to be retained and of the independent variables. Applications of the results to display monitoring contexts are discussed.
Traditionally, soil science, atmospheric science, hydrology, plant science and agriculture have been studied largely as separate subjects. These systems are clearly interlinked, however, and in recent years a great deal of interdisciplinary research has been undertaken to better understand the interactions. This textbook was developed from a course that the authors have been teaching for many years on atmosphere-vegetation-soil interactions at one of the leading international research institutes in environmental science and agriculture. The book describes the atmosphere-vegetation-soil continuum from the perspective of several interrelated disciplines, integrated into one textbook. The text is interspersed with many student exercises and problems, with solutions included. It will be ideal for intermediate to advanced students in meteorology, hydrology, soil science, environmental sciences and biology who are studying the atmosphere-vegetation-soil continuum, as well as researchers and professionals interested in the observation and modelling of atmosphere-vegetation-soil interactions
