Abstract:
For flight training, head-worn displays represent low-cost, wide field of regard, deployable systems when compared to traditional simulation facilities.

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:
Augmented reality (AR) entails overlaying the real world with information from computer-generated displays.
Human Performance and Ergonomics brings together a comprehensive and modern account of how the context of performance is crucial to understanding behavior.
Dr. Hancock and Dr. James Szalma have edited an upcoming book, Performance Under Stress. The book is derived largely from a multiple-year, multiple university (MURI) project on stress and soldier performance

Abstract:
In this paper, the responses of experienced professional pilots to change in interface configuration and differing automated invocation procedures were examined using a simulated flight-task environment.

Abstract:
Many studies have documented the performance decrements associated with driver distractions; however, few have examined drivers’ awareness of these distraction effects.
