<strong>MAP</strong>-<strong>01</strong>-<strong>01</strong>1 – <strong>HFI</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> (STGP 11)Each operator has an associated execution time. Total task performance time isequal to the sum of each operator exhibited in the task.• Advantages• KLM is a very easy and quick technique to use.• KLM requires very little training (DTC168 - Stanton & Young 1999).• KLM has been used in different domains, such as driving (DTC168 -Stanton & Young 1999).• KLM can be used to quickly compare the task times for two differentdevices or systems.• Gives an immediately useful output of estimated task performance time.• Encouraging reliability and validity data (DTC168 - Stanton & Young 1999).• Disadvantages• KLM was designed specifically for computer-based tasks (HCI). Newoperators may have to be developed for the technique to be used in otherdomains.• KLM only models error free expert performance.• KLM does not take context into account.• There is limited validation evidence associated with the use of KLM outsideof HCI.• KLM assumes that all performance is serial and cannot deal with Parallelactivity.• KLM ignores other unit task activity and also variation in performance.• KLM ignores flexible human activity (DTC<strong>01</strong>8 - Baber and Mellor 20<strong>01</strong>).May 2006 Page A3-36 Issue 4
