EFFECTS OF STANDARD VERSUS ALPHABETICAL KEYBOARD FORMATS ON TYPING PERFORMANCE.
This experiment compared the typing performance of nontypists on two typewriter keyboards, one with a standard key arrangement and the other with keys rearranged in alphabetical sequence. The analysis included only the results for 40 Ss whose scores in a pretest were lower than 2.00 strokes per sec....

The analysis included only the results for 40 Ss whose scores in a pretest were lower than 2.00 strokes per sec. The Ss were divided into two groups. Followings pretests on both standard and alphabetical keyboards, each group practiced on one type of keyboard only. At regular intervals, Ss took 10-min. tests on the assigned machines; and at the end of the practice, all Ss were tested again on both machines. The results indicate that untrained typists can enter correct data faster on a standard typewriter keyboard than on the sequential alphabetical keyboard. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1970 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
