Abstract :
Results from experiments conducted at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory are presented regarding the computer presentation of procedural information. The results come from the experimental evaluation of an expert system which presented procedural instructions to be performed by a nuclear power plant operator. Lessons learned and implications from the study are discussed, as well as design issues that should be considered to avoid some of the pitfalls in computer-presented or selected procedures.<>
