Workload Insight Free app for iPhone and iPad

Workload Insight...... designed to give a measure of mental workload by the secondary task method. This app has been used in published academic studies to gauge the mental workload of subjects while engaged in specific tasks. Basically, Cognitive Capacity is the amount of processing your mind is capable of and Mental Workload is the percentage of that capacity in use at any time. If your Mental Workload gets close to 100% of your capacity, your ability to perform simple tasks gets worse. This app provides you with a regular measurement for your performance on a very simple task, allowing you to identify when you get close to 100%. This can help to identify times or tasks which cause overload or can help to measure the effects of training or practice, helping to reduce mistakes and optimising performance. The iPhone can be worn in one of the many available jogging straps so that it is easily reachable at all times.

It is important to note that it is possible that the secondary task this app provides could distract a subject from the primary task they are completing. As such it should never be used while completing any task which represents a potential hazard to the subject or any other people.
