Visual inspection problem-solving strategies at different experience levels
This study investigated how airport security screeners employ problem solving during x-ray screening, and how strategies change with experience. Thirty-nine professional security screeners were observed performing x-ray screening in the field at an Australian International Airport. Video and eye-tracking data were collected and analysed to explore activity phases and problem-solving strategies. Less-experienced screeners performed more problem solving and preferred problem-solving strategies that rely on visual examination without decision support or that defer decision making, compared to more-experienced screeners, who p...

The role of visual conditions and aircraft type on different aspects of pilot workload
CONCLUSION: Pilots' perceived workload is influenced by both flight conditions and the type of aircraft they fly. Workload knowledge is important for flight safety and should be taken into account during training and flight-task planning.APPLICATION: The results of our study can be useful both in flight training and in work on the effectiveness of the human-machine interface. Awareness of one's own limitations due to the work environment can help improve flight safety.PMID:38492527 | DOI:10.1016/j.apergo.2024.104268 (Source: Applied Ergonomics)

Comparison of proactive and reactive interaction modes in a mobile robotic telecare study
In this study, two interaction modes, proactive and reactive, that differ in the way the user receives information from the robot, were compared in an experimental system simulating a healthcare setting. The users controlled a mobile telepresence robot that delivered and received items (medication, food, or drink), and also obtained metrics (vital signs) from a simulated patient while the users performed a secondary healthcare-related task (they compiled health records which were displayed to them on the screen and answered related questions). The effect of the two interaction modes on overall performance and user percepti...

Detectability of use errors in summative usability tests of medical devices: Impact of the test environment
Appl Ergon. 2024 Mar 11;118:104266. doi: 10.1016/j.apergo.2024.104266. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe regulations on summative usability evaluations of medical devices (MDs) emphasize that the test environment must have sufficient ecological validity for generalization to real-life use. Here, we examined the influence of environmental fidelity (a component of ecological validity) on the detectability of MD use errors. A total of 140 participants participated in a summative usability evaluation of an anaphylactic shock auto-injector device under either a high-fidelity condition or a condition acceptable from the manufact...

Strategies for case-based training with virtual patients: An experimental study of the impact of integrating mental model articulation and self-reflection
Appl Ergon. 2024 Mar 12;118:104265. doi: 10.1016/j.apergo.2024.104265. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResilient system performance in high-stakes settings, which includes the ability to monitor, respond, anticipate, and learn, can be enhanced for trainees through simulation of realistic scenarios enhanced by augmented reality. Active learning strategies can enhance simulation-based training, particularly the mental model articulation principle where students are prompted to anticipate what will happen next and the reflection principle where students self-assess their performance compared to a gold standard expert model.

Resilient performance in building maintenance: A macro-cognition perspective during sudden breakdowns
Appl Ergon. 2024 Mar 11;118:104267. doi: 10.1016/j.apergo.2024.104267. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBuilding maintenance encompasses multiple tightly inter-connected agents (e.g., technicians, occupants, supervisors, and equipment). Variable working conditions and limited resources may affect the safety and sustainability of the activities. Although recent studies have explored how complex systems can perform resilient behavior in facing the complexity of everyday activities, the factors that effectively contribute to resilient performance are still paired with limited empirical evidence. We studied the performance of the...
