In this study, the simple manipulative task of “pick and place” has been performed with instructions available through a computer by “assembling position-part assembled-place of part stored” memorization sequence. Proposed memorization border model and pattern classification of the memorization border curve can be applied to analyze the effect of the number of assembled parts on the memorization process. From the results of analysis, the memorization process is divided into two categories, middle and neighborhood preceding memorization process. The memorization border curve is useful to analyze memorization trend in term of number of parts. The comparison between individual memorization border curves gives ideas of the individual inclination. The combination work method of the middle preceding memorization process on the first half work elements and the neighborhood preceding memorization process on the latter half work elements is proposed as the efficient task guideline.
