American Psychological Association 1989 Annual Convention on Sustained Operations Research: A Blend of Psychology and Physiology Held in New Orleans, Louisiana on 11-15 August 1989.

摘要

Research in many modern laboratories has become interdisciplinary, often blending psychologists, physiologists, physicians, and members of other related technical disciplines into teams which can direct a more comprehensive approach to the study of a problem area. This is particularly true when realizing that the training of most scientists is far from standardized, often very specialized, and the subject matter of investigation is usually far too complex for unilateral approaches. This becomes extremely relevant for problem areas of interest where highly-trained individuals and complex machine systems perform tasks interdependently to accomplish a given mission. Additionally, this interdisciplinary evolution in science is driven by an explosion in technological and methodological advances which enable scientific investigators the capability to measure human functioning at a near comparison to that of machine- system monitoring by today's engineering technology.
