The Subjective Workload Assessment Technique (SWAT) has been under development for approximately five years. This measure is under a systematic development program to define its' strengths and weaknesses. Both laboratory research and field applications are being employed in this evaluation and some of the findings are presented. Current research on refinements to the procedure are discussed.
