Psychology Question on Meeting Life Challenges
Which characteristic does not determine the effect of noise on task performance?
A
Intensity
B
Luminance
C
Predictability
D
Controllability
Answer
Luminance
Explanation
Solution
The characteristics that influence the effect of noise on task performance include:
Intensity: The loudness or strength of the noise affects how disruptive it is.
Predictability: If the noise occurs at regular intervals or is expected, it is less likely to affect performance.
Controllability: The ability to control or stop the noise can reduce its negative impact on performance.
However, luminance refers to the brightness of light, not a characteristic related to noise, and therefore does not influence the effect of noise on task performance.
