Automation: How Much is Too Much?

April 14, 2015
| No Comments
| 2011-Current

Citation:
Hancock, P. A. (2014). Automation: how much is too much?. Ergonomics, 57(3), 449-454.

Abstract:
The headlong rush to automate continues apace. The dominant question still remains whether we can automate, not whether we should automate. However, it is this latter question that is featured and considered explicitly here.

| 2011-Current

Citation:
Carayon, P., Hancock, P., Leveson, N., Noy, I., Sznelwar, L., & van Hootegem, G. (2015). Advancing a sociotechnical systems approach to workplace safety–developing the conceptual framework. Ergonomics, (ahead-of-print), 1-17.

Abstract:
Traditional efforts to deal with enormous problems of workplace safety have proved insufficient, as they have tended to neglect the broader sociotechnical environment that surrounds workers.

| No Comments
| 2011-Current

Citation:
Hancock, P. A. (2013). Task partitioning effects in semi-automated human–machine system performance. Ergonomics, 56(9), 1387-1399.

Abstract:
Twelve professional pilots performed a flight simulation consisting of three component sub-tasks: (i) tracking, (ii) monitoring and (iii) targeting, respectively. The targeting sub-task required (i) target identification, (ii) weapon selection and then (iii) weapon release.

| 2011-Current, Uncategorized

Citation:
Szalma, J. L., & Hancock, P. A. (2013). A signal improvement to Signal Detection Analysis: Fuzzy SDT on the ROCs. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 39(6), 1741.

Abstract
Fuzzy Signal Detection Theory (FSDT) combines traditional Signal Detection Theory (SDT) with Fuzzy Set Theory to generalize signal detection analysis beyond the traditional categorical decision-making model.
