摘要

The presence of automation has pervaded almost every aspect of modern life. The use of automation has made work easier, more efficient, and safer, as well as giving us more leisure time. However, research has also shown that the increase in automation has not been without costs. THese costs have resulted in increased interest in advanced automation concepts. One of these concepts is automation that is adaptive or flexible in nature and can respond to changing situational demands (Hancock & Chignell, 1987; Scerbo, 1996).
