Abstract:
This paper is directed to the further understanding of the problems of fatigue and workload and their role in diminishing driving capability.
We report an experiment which investigated the performance and workloadeffects associated with the functional grouping of automated displays in a multi-task flight simulation. Eleven rated pilots performed tracking, systems monitoring, and target acquisition sub-tasks in manual conditions and when the targetingtask was automated.

Excerpt:
In the inaugural issue of Ergonomics in Design, Robert Fuld provided severe criticism of functional allocation as a practical design process (Fuld, 1993).

Abstract:
Virtual interfaces to advanced human-machine systems will present operators with a variety of perceptual-motor challenges.

Abstract:
Is the retinal periphery as capable of extracting time-to-contact information from a radially expanding optical flow field pattern as the retinal center?

Abstract:
The characteristic of evolution that I advance and illustrate is the convergence of form in systems experiencing common evolutionary forces (see Gould, 1980, for a discussion of comparable convergence patterns in natural evolution).

Abstract:
We define situation awareness (SA) as adaptive, externally directed consciousness. This definition dispels the artificial and contentious division evident in the literature, according to which SA is either exclusively knowledge or exclusively process.
