The effect of position-information grouping and cueing on the performance of assembly task was studied. A factorial experiment involving 8 subjects was performed in which three levels of grouping, three levels of cueing between-groups and three levels of cueing within-group were investigated.
Grouping appeared to affect consistency of task and cueing between-groups as well as cueing within-group appeared to influence performance time. Interaction effect between grouping and cueing within-group on performance time was found to be significant. In conclusion, the result of this study has some important implications for the various real-life information processing task.
