Abstract
In any model of human information-processing, it is common to represent the cycle from perception to response. In this study, we focus on what happens in the intervals between cycles of work processes in the manufacturing industry. This topic has received little attention. We also visualize the status of visual searching during cyclic processes using eye-tracking. We found that anticipation occurred in preparation for making a decision on action in the next process, and thus contributes to the time taken from perception to response. Based on this result, we discuss the modeling of visual searching by humans.
