Abstract:
A reexamination of the final flight of Amelia Earhart points to some human factors/ergonomics issues that may well have played a role in the failure of the aircraft to make its rendezvous at Howland Island.

Abstract:
Adaptive automation, which serves to dynamically allocate tasks between a system and its user, is a process that has reached sufficient maturity that we are able to begin to present viable design guidelines.

Excerpt:
Perhaps it’s just me but recently I have attended an ever-increasing number of meetings at which customers, agents, sponsors, and resource managers constantly advocate picking ‘the low-hanging fruit’.

Abstract:
Functions that have traditionally related stress to capacity show a graceful degradation in performance as stress level ascends above an optimal point. In contrast, this work advocates for a threshold model in which performance stays relatively stable up to a critical point.

Abstract:
The present study was designed to explore the effects of warned and unwarned demand transitions in vigilance on performance and self-reported stress.

Abstract:
We examined the relationship between perceived workload and performance by evaluating the responses of police officers to 4 different draw-and-shoot tasks in a night field training exercise which was part of their regular training regimen.

Abstract:
This paper presents information concerning a specific undergraduate honors course on the interdisciplinary topic of time. True to the cross-cutting nature of time, the course was both led by and primarily taught by two professors from the distinctly different disciplines of information systems and psychology, respectively.
