This paper presents a continuing study of the human cognitive aspect application in the technical systems. The laststudies design a human-centered design based on the German culture. The result shows a significant difference ofhuman performance between Germans and Indonesians. Therefore, this study examines the human cognitive modelbased on Indonesian culture to investigate whether the different cognitive model based on the culture aspect canimprove the human performance. The study was conducted on 60 people classified by age, young (16-34 years old) andold (older than 34 years old). Participants render predictions on an assembly activity for two interim states of twodifferent types of products which are the Builderific brick and the Pulley Release based on four types of the assemblystrategy model (Reference, Combination, Human Behavior 1, and Human Behavior 2). The dependent variables areprediction time, mental workload, and predictive accuracy. The results show that the models of human assemblystrategies and the products have significant influences on mental workload and predictive capability. The age variablesignificantly influences mental workload, performance, and prediction capabilities. |
