An Information Processing Model for Predicting Error Detection and Correction: An Analysis of Operator Performance

摘要

The overall objective of this research was to develop the capability to predict operator performance at a system console. To be useful in industry, this prediction should be available prior to production of a prototype or simulator. The value of such predictions is the opportunity for an analyst to select a design that meets system performance requirements while optimizing human performance -- and to be able to make this selection before hardware and software design and development activities commence. For this study, three models were examined to determine how each could contribute to the formulation of an integrated model for predicting human performance.
