Some have suggested that the problem lies in the fact that much HF\/E research has been based on the wrong type of psychology, an information processing view of psychology that is reductionistic and context-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEcological psychology offers a viable alternative, presenting a richer view of human behaviour that is holistic and contextualised. The papers presented in these two volumes show the conceptual impact that ecological psychology can have on HF\/E, as well as presenting a number of specific examples illustrating the ecological approach to human-machine systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLocal Applications of the Ecological Approach To Human-Machine Systems\u003c\/em\u003e is the first collection of papers that explicitly draws a connection between these two fields. While work in this area is only just beginning, the evidence available suggests that taking an ecological approach to human factors\/ergonomics helps bridge the existing gap between basic research and applied problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47606461333740,"sku":"9780805813791","price":412.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780805813791-local-applications-of-the-ecological-approach-to-human-machine-systems.jpg?v=1778153752","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/local-applications-of-the-ecological-approach-to-human-machine-systems-9780805813791","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
