Abstract
![CDATA[This paper describes a simulation experiment carried out to investigate the effect of learning due to experience, and of forgetting due to interruption on a construction inspection task. A reinforced concrete slab was inspected by a number of inspectors with differing experience and education levels. The slab had known pre-determined errors in it. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) has been used to determine the average variance in this experiment. Variations between groups and within the groups were calculated including significance level (P Value), degrees of freedom, and random variable factors. A multi comparison procedure was carried out using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) method to determine the statistical significance of the differing means between different groups of samples. Results from this inspection experiment, not unsurprisingly, confirmed that inspectors with greater experience and education level needed less effort to detect an error.]]
