Article Abstract:
Examination of the time taken for high/low strength tasks by eight students using Hypercard on the Macintosh computer reveals the existence of computer interphase personality. The study involves a program that considers the task strength as high or low and the personality of the computer interphase and the user as either extrovert or introvert. While the introvert user works faster with an introvert computer interface than an extrovert interphase for a given task of high strength, the extrovert user exhibits no preference among interphases and is faster than his counterpart only in tasks of low strength.

Article Abstract:
A research to develop a predictive model for quantifying the risk of work-related carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) among video-display terminal (VDT) operators was conducted. The study involved 100 female participants, 45 of which were diagnosed with CTS and 55 without CTS. The resulting model accurately identified 73%, from both the CTS and non-CTS groups. After cross validation, the model accurately identified 69% of the CTS group and 65% of the non-CTS group.

Article Abstract:
Visual mediators can be effectively used to assist low spatial individuals in information search works on computer screens. The adjustment of low spatial individuals is dependent on the removal of the need to evolve a mental model of the structure of embedded task information. This can be accomplished through the presentation of the information in an hierarchical or linear form on the screen.
