摘要: When a choice is to be made among given number of alternatives, task complexity as well cognitive strain are defined increasing functions both the aspects per alternative and difficulty between alternatives. The decision maker considered minimize cost (1) time procedure (2) errors made. Due limits information processing capacity, optimal proposed concave function complexity: for simple too complex tasks relatively small.
