Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early process of mastering skills to reveal skill factors including pause and adjustment in producing traditional handicrafts using psychophysiological and behavioral indices. The indices were measured in two experiments. Tasks that needed obtaining skill factors were performed. As the results, heart rates, time-series behaviors of elecrooculogram (EOG), and wrist activities during tasks, and subjective scores before tasks reflected the difference of the product quality in the early process of mastering skills. From the series of studies, skill factors could be evaluated quantitatively using different indices appropriate for the target movement. Therefore, it is important to select appropriate indices for a target movement in practical use. To reveal skill factors quantitatively can support to archive and inherit the skills for producing traditional handicrafts .
