Abstract
When an information processing system is faced with an excess of input information the task of selecting the items which are to get immediate processing is frequently assigned to a human being. A quantitative measure of the extent to which a man avoids random activity during such filtering operations is derived in terms of two parameters (normalized overload and correct proportion of selections) which are determined from experimentally available quantities. This coherence measure may be used for studies of random behavior, comparison of rules for selecting items, and perhaps prediction of human performance at filtering tasks.
