ABSTRACT
In recent years, the philosophy of Brunswik has been used as the basis for the research paradigm of multiple cue probability learning (MCPL). This chapter explains the findings from MCPL that suggest ways to structure and display information to simplify processing requirements. The additional cues are presented to a subject increases the predictability of the criterion sufficiently to merit inclusion in the display. The operators are allowed to free some of their attention to perform other facets of the multiple tasks. MCPL, dealing as it does with variables that influence how and how well people learn to integrate information from several sources in order to perform tasks at a high level, can contribute to the solution of some of the problems arising in multiple-task situations.
