摘要: Abstract The present study tested the hypothesis that performance would improve when work rhythm of a highly repetitive task was synchronous with worker's internal physiological rhythms. Experienced office workers ( n = 20) used video display terminals (VDTs) to perform repetitive, self-paced data-entry in simulated environment over 2-day period. Each day consisted six 40-min periods. Work changes were induced by varying input data field lengths (3–13 characters) across eleven twelve degree synchronization between and breathing rhythms, also variations interbeat interval, scored using cross-spectral analysis. Synchronization scores then predict keying multiple regression rhythms not predictive performance. However, increased cardiac 1. (a) keystroke output, 2. (b) lower error rate 3. (c) correction rate. results suggest VDT might if is designed promote work-physiological synchronization.
