Abstract
  • A computer simulation was developed as a technique for studying the effects of the process dynamics on the operator's sampling and control behavior. This methodology was used to study the effects of the process input memory variation in the presence of different observation noise levels. It was concluded that the input memory and the observation noise level did not have any effect on the operator's sampling and control behavior. The experimental design was then reformed, and another set of experiments was conducted to study the effects of the observation noise level on the operator's behavior in the absence of any input memory variation. It was concluded that the different noise levels had an adverse effect on the operator's behavior. That is, it was concluded that as the noise component increased, the operators tended to behave less economically. In addition to the above, it was concluded that the operators had experienced a learning phenomenon in relation to the performed task.
