Structural modeling of information coordination abilities: an evaluation and extension of the Yee, Hunt, and Pellegrino model

An evaluation of the Yee, Hunt and Pellegrino model of information coordination and subsequent extension provides proof of the role of information coordination in individually varied multitask performances. Experiments using confirmatory factor analysis were performed to evaluate information coordination with proof of across-domain and within-domain coordination abilities. The experiments revealed that coordination ability contributed less to task performance with experience. The difficulty of coordination factors determines the role of coordination ability in coordination task performance; there is no correlation between cognitive ability and other coordination abilities.
