Abstract
The basic analysis was carried out to discuss the effect of the human operator's control function on the one's control characteristics and this individual difference in a manual control tracking systems, by means of the small operation which consists of a non-operating and an operating part. The results obtained are as follows;
(1) The human operator's basic processing and operating function for the input information are able to be expressed by the small operation.
(2) According to the limit value of the control function, the human operators are divided into two groups, with the difference in the shape of the small operation etc.
(3) There is a negative correlation between the limit value of the control function and the controllability area which makes the individual difference clear.
(4) In the controllable systems, the control function relative to the limits of the controllability, is an useful index for the analysis of the repetitive effect of the trials and this individual difference, and this change, as the trial increased, is especially concerned with the learning speed.
