Human Factors
I contacted Ground abeam Gate for taxi instructions after completing the After Start Checklist. Ground's instructions were; 'Taxi to Runway 21; via Alpha; cross Runway 15; 33.' We proceeded to taxi with both engines started. As we crossed Runway 15; Ground responded to a twin Cessna with the taxi instructions; 'Plan Runway 21 taxi via Golf short of Alpha. Give way to CRJ 700 taxing left to right; we need him in front of you for a time.' The Cessna responded; 'Have the CRJ in sight.' Note there was a CRJ 200 in the holding pad at the end of Alpha. As we approached the Cessna we could see the pilot looking to the right at the CRJ 200 with no intentions of braking. We maneuvered to the left side of the wide taxi way avoiding contact with the intruding aircraft. The general aviation pilot did not comprehend the full instruction given by ATC of the company; size; or direction of the traffic he was to give way to.
