History of Human Factors

Why is Human Factors Increasingly Important

• Diversity of user groups

• Complexity of systems

• Increased use of technology

• Increased “costs” of human error

• Societal emphasis on well-being and quality of life

Human Factors Objective

Examples of Application Areas

• Military• Highway systems

– e.g. readability and comprehensibility of signs• Automobile design and driver behavior• Human-computer systems• Healthcare and patient safety• Aging and accessibility• Nuclear power• Workplace layout and furnishings• Airline industry

– e.g. pilot workload, aircraft design, automation, aircraft maintenance

• Quality control

Nuclear Power Plant Control Room

Airplane Cockpit

Human Factors in Medicine

• Infusion pumps

• Anesthesia equipment

• Medication errors

• Effects of fatigue on resident’s performance

• Judgmental limitations in medical decision making

• Inadequate infection control

• Unintended consequences of automation

Human Factors/Ergonomics (Carayon, 2007)

• Scientific discipline concerned with understanding interactions– Among humans– Other elements of a system

• Profession that applies theory, principles, data, methods to design to optimize: – human well-being – overall system performance

• System can be a technology, device, person, team, organization, policy, etc.

Human Factors Ergonomics:3 Major Domains

Physical Ergonomics

Organizational Ergonomics

Cognitive Ergonomics

Human Factors & Applied Cognitive Psychology

• Applies knowledge about human strengths and limitations to design of interactive systems, equipment, and their environment to ensure their effectiveness, safety, and ease of use

• Perception, attention, memory, mental models and decision making are central to human factors research and analysis

Human Attention

Selective Attention

Information Overload

Selective Attention

Divided Attention or Time Sharing

• Time-sharing: – ability to perform more than one cognitive task by

attending to both at once or rapidly switching back and forth between them

• Because cognitive resources for attention are relatively limited, time-sharing often results in a drop in performance for one or both tasks

• People can also “modulate” the resources given to one task or the other

Human Factors Design Implications

• Reduce the number of competing channels of information

• Make sources of information as distinct as possible

• Provide feedback

• Use redundant cues

• Work/rest scheduling

• Training
