Cognitive Ergonomics - Science topic

I require OFER for the study related to fatigue assessment

I am interested to know how to measure driving behaviour during real time driving activity. Based on my literature,currently most of the driving behaviour measurements are subjective measurement i.e questionnaire.

Thank you

Hi,

I am planning to conduct usability testing for a motorcycle HMI. The HMI has a joystick which can control the menu of the HMI (only when the biker is not riding the bike). I am thinking of measuring intuitiveness of the HMI, general user experience, Workload and Affect. Intuitiveness of the HMI would be measured for the case when the biker is riding the bike. Other variables would be measured for the case when the biker is not riding the bike. Should I measure any other variables as well?

Any suggestions on how to measure intuitiveness/glanceability of the HMI? I am planning to measure intuitiveness of the HMI as glanceability of the motorcycle HMI is critical considering the biker's safety (Eyes off the road has to be as minimal as possible while ensuring grasp of information from HMI).

It would be also great if anyone can share any literature regarding motorcycle HMI.

Thanks.

I am interested in exploring the degree to which the typical distractions encountered in offices (e.g. overhearing irrelevant conversations, distractions in visual field) interfere with the typical types of tasks performed in those offices. In other words, I want to be able to predict how much the performance of Task A (primary work activity) will be disrupted by the concurrent performance of Task B (attending to, and trying to ignore, an irrelevant distractor).

I have previously come across Wickens' Multiple Resource Theory and its use as a computational model to predict dual task interference (e.g. Wickens, 2008), and found it to be a very useful framework for describing which cognitive resources are used for which tasks. However, I have only ever seen this applied in contexts such as interface design in visual tasks (e.g. designing cockpits for pilots). Is anyone aware of the application of this theory in more traditional workplace design?

Alternatively, is anyone aware of any other useful frameworks which might help me to predict how a particular type of 'knowledge work' will be disrupted by the presence of a distractor?

I am researching criteria which can be used to define the scope of the liability of a convicted person before the ICC. In particular, I am concerned with cases where the State omitted negligently to prevent those crimes whereby the person was convicted. So at the reparation stage before the ICC, is it possible to envisage an ICC order which considers the negligent State behaviour in establishing the amount to repair by who acted intentionally? In other words, can a negligent State behaviour reduce the amount to be repaired by who acted intentionally? So, assumed that it exists a concurrent liability, by negligence and intention, how can be defined the scope of the respective liability?

The International BMTT-PETS 2017 workshop of tracking and surveillance (in conjunction with CVPR 2017) has a new extended deadline for submissions set to April 12th 2017.

The BMTT Challenge (Benchmarking of Multi-Target Tracking) and PETS (Performance Evaluation of Tracking and Surveillance) have joined to organise the

*** First BMTT-PETS workshop of tracking and surveillance ***

in conjunction with CVPR 2017.

Due to numerous requests, we have extended the deadline for our Call for Papers on our IEEE International BMTT-PETS 2017 workshop of tracking and surveillance to April 12th 2017.

We have 5 exciting challenges for the first edition of the BMTT-PETS workshop!:

Detection and Tracking Challenges (see https://motchallenge.net/workshops/bmtt-pets2017/tracking.html):

Challenge 1: Detection and tracking in low-density scenarios

Challenge 2: Detection in crowded scenarios

Challenge 3: Tracking in crowded scenarios

Surveillance Challenges (see https://motchallenge.net/workshops/bmtt-pets2017/surveillance.html):

Challenge 4: Atomic event detection

Challenge 5: Complex threat event detection

In regard to the previous Qs: if there are catalysts that can increase the rate of consciousness, there are also vice-versa others that decrease it. In the end, losing consciousness effects our behavior, judgment, needs and desires? Can we be[come] better persons by releasing our SELFs by a [moral] consciousness - as Freud+Jung would imply with the "Superego" sever judgement? 

It is a normal Q started from the neuroscientific assertion that the [moral] consciousness is a b..ch, aka it needs to be removed from our psyche.

When designing a study, how does the experimenter ensure that participants are fatigues on participants? What type of subjective or objective models are commonly used in driving simulator studies?

It seems that the NASA-TLX is the go-to when measuring subjective workload, but flaws definitely exist. For example, how do we know that it is actually measuring workload? Or, are subjects remembering their demands during the entire task when administering the measure afterwards? Does anyone have any better recommendations for measuring this, or is this the better choice that exists?

I'm working on a performance assessment instrument to measure multidimensional factors that influence employee´s productivity.

We modelled the items so that 3 factors could be covered, using a 5-point Likert scale. Each factor measured, respectively, by 12,13 and 4 items. The instrument was applied to 1185 individuals. The PCA analysis resulted in 4 factors above 1, but I stuck to the conceptual model of 3.

The results can be seen in the file attached, where I printed using a cut-off of 0.3. I used R's psych package, and varimax rotation.

For some items, I got a result like this:

Item Pl2 -> Factor 1: 0.542; Factor 2: -0.513; Factor 3: very low value;

Item AP2 -> Factor 1: 0.446; Factor 2: -0.443; Factor 3: very low value;

Item TE2 -> Factor 1: 0.411; Factor 2: -0.700; Factor 3: very low value;

My question is: how can I interpret such result?

Do these items measure equally well both factors 1 and 2? Is it a good way to solve this is by refactoring the items towards one of the factors?

Engineers focus on qualities of product, managers focus on sales and delivery on time. Has anyone studied how these two professional orientations come into conflict in the course of decision making?

How to compromise between the ergonomic demands of smart phones and the design of a small device that is capable of executing multiple tasks

Electrical systems can be categorized as critical systems where failure can result in significant financial loss, injury or threats to human life. The operators of the electric power control centers perform an activity in a specialized environment and have to carry it out by mobilizing knowledge and reasoning to which they have adequate training under the terms of the existing rules. To reach this there is a common mental request of personnel involved in these centers due the need to maintain attention, memory and reasoning request. In this sense.

I'm looking for cognitive psychology references proving that the cost of interrupting a primary task is low if the subject of the interruption is related/relevant to the task. Do you know any?

Hi fellows! I'm making a work about interaction quality and information quality in scientific collaboration virtual networks as ResearchGate. So, I need to know others tools, similar to ResearchGate, in order to make an evaluation. May someone tell me about this others tools? Thanks
