The shape of the speed-accuracy operating characteristic (SAOC) has implications for system design that:
A) are consistent with principles of visual momentum
B) apply primarily to complex choices
C) discourage "0 defects" campaigns *
D) pertain only to RT tasks

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shape of the speed-accuracy operating characteristic (SAOC) suggests a trade-off between speed and accuracy, implying that pushing for "0 defects" (or perfect accuracy) can significantly slow down processes. This discourages "0 defects" campaigns because they can lead to inefficiencies or reduced productivity due to the excessive focus on eliminating all errors at the expense of speed or efficiency.
