Abstract

Three aspects of visual inspection were considered in this study. The three aspects considered to effect inspection performance are (1) cognitive styles, (2) feedforward training (job aid), and (3) pacing. In this study, the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT) was administered and the basic (control), static (self- pacing), and hybrid (systematic pacing) displays were used to investigate the pacing effect. The objective was to classify the inspectors into different categories via the MFFT based on their cognitive styles, and also to investigate inspection performance (accuracy and response time) affected by the job aids as cognitive styles. The results indicate that the MFFT is effective in all task conditions. The job aid was also found to have a positive impact on the overall performance.
