Abstract:
There are many tasks for which people need domain-specific skills learned through long-term practice. Many skill acquisition models were already proposed including the mental states of the learners but a few studies tried to estimate the mental states using objectively measured data. The purpose of this study was to experimentally investigate the relationship between the subjective mental states and the physiological indices for development of a method to determine skill level in detail for the skill acquisition task, using task performance and the learner's mental states. For the purpose, we conducted an experiment to obtain the data of the physiological indices and a subjective report of the feeling of difficulty during the skill acquisition task. As a result of the analysis, we confirmed the relationship between them. In addition, we suggested an approach to identify task features which was useful to acquire the skill and the stage of the skill acquisition process via task performance and the measured physiological indices.
