iSome Determinants of Chunk Size in Sequential Behavior:Individual Differences in the Transcription of Alphanumeric Strings

Abstract

Studies have shown that temporal chunk measures in transcrip-tion tasks can be used to assess competence in various domains.However, in other tasks, chunking strategies and thus perfor-mance differences can be highly variable across participants.If such individual differences are also large in transcriptiontasks this would undermine the use of chunk-based competencemeasures. Using four stimuli with fixed spatial structures thisexperiment demonstrates that there is good consistency inchunking strategy across 52 participants in two types of tran-scription tasks. The experiment spans 16,000 data points.
