Abstract:
Here, we examine the potential for this rate and level of technologically-supported development of expertise. Our present question concerns how technology can facilitate expertise and how, in their turn, experts can act then to influence the development of human machine symbiosis.

Abstract:
What I seek to achieve in this article is an exploration of how some of the distilled and assembled principles of behavior can be applied to human goals, aspirations, and performance writ large.

Abstract:
To what extent are identified psychological processes created in laboratories? The present work addresses this issue with reference to one particular realm of behavior: vigilance.

Abstract:
The growing holistic focus of HF/E leads inevitably to a consideration of the ‘system of all systems’, the Earth. Our part in the incipient destruction of its civilization- carrying capacity is antithetical to the stated goals and aspirations of our science.

Abstract:
The present experiment examined the effects of sex and handedness on the perception of brief intervals up to 20 s in duration. In order to obtain participants with sufficiently high scores on a scale of handedness, we screened 1,276 people; the process yielded 16 men and 16 women eligible for testing.

Abstract:
For most of the history of the modern automobile, the start function has been initiated by turning an ignition key which is typically carried on a keychain holding a bunch of keys that unlock many of the portals in our lives.

Abstract:
This series of experiments tested the assimilation and efficacy of tactile messages that were created based on five common military arm and hand signals.
