Ideal for researchers, ergonomics professionals, and students in undergraduate and graduate courses related to human factors, experimental psychology, and system evaluation, this set serves as a valuable reference for anyone involved in the assessment of human performance in complex systems.

This handbook was developed to help researchers and practitioners select measures to be used in the evaluation of human/machine systems. The handbook begins with an overview of the steps in developing a test to measure human performance, workload, and/or situational awareness, followed by a definition of human performance and a review of measures.

Description

This two-volume set was developed to help researchers and practitioners select measures to be used in the evaluation of human/machine systems. It can also be used to supplement classes at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in ergonomics, experimental psychology, human factors, human performance, measurement, and system test and evaluation.

Volume 1 of the Handbook begins with an overview of the steps involved in developing a test to measure human performance, workload, and/or situational awareness. This is followed by a definition of human performance and a review of human performance measures. Situational Awareness is similarly treated in a subsequent chapter. Volume 2 presents a definition of workload and reviews workload measures.

Provides a short engineering tutorial on experimental design
Offers readily accessible information on human performance, workload, and situational awareness (SA) measures
Presents a general description of the measure
Covers data collection, reduction, and analysis requirements
Details the strengths and limitations or restrictions of each measure, including any known proprietary rights or restrictions, as well as validity and reliability data
