Sažetak
The aim of this study was to find out possible effects of experimental habituation on efficiency and the task difficulty assessment. Ten subjects took part in an investigation where they had to complete 30 tapping cycles of Fitts’ tapping tasks, the difficulty of which ranged from one to six bits. The completion time was measured. After a week, in one situation, the subjects repeated the same procedure again, while in the other, they were given their individual time needed to complete 30 cycles of every task. The number of tapping cycles completed in that time was registered. The task sequence was varied according to the Latin square principle. After completing a task, the subject assessed its difficulty on Borgs’ scale. Since completion time was measured in two situations, and the number of tapping cycles in one, the data were expressed as the speed of tapping (no. cycles / time in sec.). The results showed that task tapping speed followed the opposite trend of changes in the task difficulty. The speed, on the other hand, did not reflect the effects of habituation. Changes in the task difficulty assessments, which were similar in the second and third situation, followed changes in the task difficulties. The differences in assessments, however, were found between the first and the other two situations, which was due to the effects of habituation to the tasks. This means that subjective assessments were more sensitive to habituation than speed parameters.
