Tourists are often exposed to imagery of a destination through advertisement modalities such as texts and pictures before they visit the place. This research used an eye-tracking technique to examine the effect of spatial and modality configurations on tourist destination advertisement attention and travel intention. Drawing on multiple resource theory and based on two 4 (spatial displacement) × 3 (modality) experiments, results reveal that spatial location and modality have an impact on tourist attention with respect to their dwell time and fixation counts, which lead to greater propensity to visit a place. In addition, tourists paid more attention to advertisements that occupy congruent attentional resources than to those using interference resources.

The effects of practice on accuracy, speed, and resource load are briefly discussed. Procedures for measuring resource load and training of high performance skills are illustrated. Analysis of task consistency and procedures for establishing the marginal utility of various training options are described. The alternatives of time-line analysis, subjective measures and multiple resource theory are commented on.

A correlational design was used to regress NASA TLX subjective workload ratings onto several potential independent variables (i.e., the number of concurrent tasks, task combination, task resource demands, and flight experience) to determine task characteristics that influence pilot subjective workload ratings. A part task simulator was used to present up to six concurrent tasks, in different combinations, to 27 cadets at the USAF Academy. The results indicated the number of concurrent tasks had the largest impact on subjective workload ratings. In terms of multiple resource theory, spatial, verbal, and visual demands (in that order) contributed the most variance. The implication for theoreticians and designers is that the number of concurrent tasks, mental resource demands, and time constraints seem to be key contributors to subjective workload ratings.
