Human Factors Minute

The diffusion model is a psychological model of how we process a single-stage decision when there is a simple choice between two options. This is beneficial both in human decision making as it allows for a conclusion to potentially be reached earlier than in complex decision making.One of the key distinctions of diffusion models is that they are dynamic - able to describe the evolution of a person’s preferences over time. When discussed in terms of cognition, diffusion modeling is the mathematical representation of decision field theory, an approach to human decision making, which aims to describe how people make decisions rather than prescribe what decisions people should or ought to make.Cognitive scientists have been using this model to measure performance in tasks ranging from sensory detection and perceptual discrimination to memory recognition and categorization. In neuroscience, these models have demonstrated an ability to account for behavioral decision making for which traditional models used in economics and psychology cannot. Successful implementation of diffusion models in cognition and neuroscience, demonstrate that they may be a key in providing a bridge between neural models of sensory-motor tasks and behavioral models of complex-cognitive tasks.Be sure to check out our main show at our official website: https://www.humanfactorscast.mediaSupport us on these platforms to get access to the entire Human Factors Minute library:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscastBuy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hfactorspodcastJoin us on Discord:https://go.humanfactorscast.media/DiscordFollow us:Human Factors Cast Merchandise Store: https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/Store/Follow us on Twitch: https://twitch.tv/HumanFactorsCastFollow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCastFollow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscastFollow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcastFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCastResources:Music by Kevin McLeod: https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/Mentioned in this episode:Support us on Patreon for access to the full library of Human Factors Minutehttps://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast

Did you know the The Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group is composed of 19 sub Technical Advisory Groups?One of those is the Human Factors Standardization (HFS) SubTAG.This SubTAG aims to identify programs and initiatives that are needed within the Department of Defense, specifically within Human Factors Standardization Area of Consideration (HFAC), other government lead standardization activities, and offices of primary record.The group's goal is also to provide advisory support to ensure successful coordinated efforts in implementing planned Human Factors Standardization. Avoiding duplication among DoD standardization is a critical function of this group as duplicated standards may lead to conflicting guidance. Lastly, this group aims to maximize and enhance the exchange of standardization information between the DoD human factors community and other government, non-government standards bodies, and other technical societies and industry groups.Much of this group's work includes identifying problems and opportunities on standardization activities, suggesting proposed actions to address the problems and exploiting opportunities for government-industry cooperation in resolving them. They also work to identifiy effective and efficient means of using standards in acquisition programs.To find out more about the The Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group, and its sub Technical Advisory Groups, visit the HFE TAG website (https://rt.cto.mil/ddre-rt/dd-rtl/hfetag/).

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration protects millions of workers through a labor code of federal regulations. OSHA 1910 ensures the adoption and extension of legal standards, creating general workplace safety requirements that apply to all industries. OSHA 1910 establishes compliance duties, air contaminant provisions, rules for walking and working surfaces, hazardous materials, personal protective equipment, first aid, emergency planning, and fire protection. Combined, these measures can increase workplace safety with dramatic effect. Since its implementation, OSHA has reduced workplace injuries and deaths by 50%. Human factors and ergonomics are at the heart of these life saving safety regulations. For instance they play a key role in a company’s policies, programs, and procedures, along with the physical design of the workplace environments. Additionally, Human Factors plays an important part in establishing training programs for worker competency and skill. Ergonomics can also contribute to the processes and procedures used to evaluate work practices that may cause long-term harm to a worker’s body. To discover more ways that human factors and ergonomics shape occupational safety policy, go to www.osha.gov.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Scalar Expectancy Theory, or SET, is an important model of animal timing behavior credited to John Gibbon in the late 1900s. The idea of SET is that animals have an internal clock and particular memory and decision-making processes, which explains why their behavior can be temporally controlled using fixed-interval reinforcement. The scalar part of SET comes from how animals compare the current time (held in their working memory) to the expected time (held in their reference memory). When the ratio is small enough, the animal performs the behavior. When the ratio is big enough, the animal stops doing the behavior. This ratio allows for the observation that animal timing accuracy is relative to the size of the interval being timed. Although Gibbon’s theory was intended to apply only to animals, John Wearden claimed that SET could also be applied to humans. However, human behavior has much more variability than animal behavior does, mostly due to our attentional allocation, so this application is somewhat debated. While SET was one of the first models of timing, it is not the only one: there are many alternative models of timing, some based on SET and some completely different. When using SET, it is important to keep in mind that it might not work for all durations, and some psychologists argue that it is inconsistent when it comes to explaining the location of temporal indifference point in temporal bisection procedure.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Neuroergonomics is the study of effectively apply state-of-the-art methods and theories from neuroscience to understand how the brain works in everyday life. Traditional ergonomic studies rely predominantly on psychological explanations to address human factors issues such as: work performance, operational safety, and workplace-related risks . Neuroergonomics, in contrast, addresses the biological substrates of ergonomic concerns, with an emphasis on the role of the human nervous system. The goal of combining neuroscience with Human Factors (and Ergonomics) is to use the discoveries of the human brain and physiological functioning both to inform the design of technologies in the workplace and home, and to provide new training methods that enhance performance, expand capabilities, and optimize the fit between people and technology. Findings obtained in work-defined settings often inform and challenge our understanding of what work means in terms of neural mechanisms. Research in the neuroergonomics field has become more prevalent with the emergence of noninvasive techniques for monitoring human brain function that can be used to study various aspects of human behavior in relation to technology and work, including mental workload, visual attention, working memory, motor control, human-automation interaction, and adaptive automation.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! An electroencephlogram, or EEG, is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain. The device works by placing electrodes consisting of small metal discs with thin wires are pasted onto the participant's scalp. The electrodes detect tiny electrical charges that result from the activity in brain cells. The charges are amplified and appear as a graph on a computer screen, or as a recording that may be printed out on paper. In Human Factors, EEGs are used typically to measure performance with respect to mental fatigue, mental workload, mental effort, visual fatigue, emotion, and stress.Many studies in human factors focus on evaluating an individual’s mental states while operating a vehicle, however there are plenty of other practical applications for using an EEG. Outside of Human Factors, The EEG can be used used to evaluate several types of brain disorders, diagnose other disorders that influence brain activity, determine the overall electrical activity of the brain, and to monitor blood flow in the brain during surgical procedures.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! The Spectral Model is a model of one type of circuit within an animal or robot’s larger temporal organization. It describes a mechanism for inhibiting the urge to move on too soon from an expected outcome by learning to wait for something that is expected by discounting expected nonoccurrences until the expected arrival of the goal object. If the goal object does not appear after a certain amount of time, then the unexpected nonoccurrence of the goal can be processed and responded to appropriately. This timing mechanism is important for the survival of animals and humans, especially those who seek out novel experiences, and for robots who will need to move and operate in environments that may have unexpected events. We can think about when we are waiting for a friend to show up to lunch: after a certain amount of waiting past the designated meeting time, we might text or call our friend to get a status update. The Spectral Model helps us to know when to continue waiting and when to take action. This has been another Human Factors Minute!

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Vigilance is the action or state of keeping careful watch for possible danger or difficulties. The issue with this is that as automation is becoming increasingly more prevalent within our society humans are having to switch from the active role of operator to the passive role of monitor. Human Factors research has identified many issues with requiring humans to do vigilance tasks as they are highly stressful on individuals because of their substantial demand on information processing resources. One reason for this is individuals need to constantly use working memory to distinguish what a threating detection is compared to a non-threatening detection. Additionally, many experiments have measured workload during vigilance tasks. The results show that vigilance tasks carry high workload and are cognitively demanding. It is also found that vigilance decrement steadily increases as workload increases over time. Other studies show that there is a reduction in cerebral flow during vigilance tasks which provides physiological evidence that performance capabilities decrease during vigilance tasks. Research has investigated the high stress that results from vigilance tasks. Data indicates that increases in epinephrine and norepinephrine, as well as self-reports of various experiments showing vigilance tasks cause individuals to disengage from the task and experience distress and worry.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! With so many theoretical models for how we perceive time, researchers have started comparing the different models. This emphasizes that we still have much to learn about how we perceive time in the real world and use that perception to interact with our environment. Recent research tells us that time perception involves a large neural network throughout the brain; there is no specific structure that controls it. In general, our understanding is that our perception of time is a combination of a variety of factors such as attention, arousal, emotions, and environmental cues. Time can appear to move faster if we are in a positive state and have a high approach motivation (the desire and drive to do something) or find activities so enjoyable and immersive that time seems to pass by faster than usual (sometimes referred to as a “flow” state) Conversely, focusing our attention on something can also make time seem to move slower. When the possibility of a reward is present, stimuli are perceived as lasting longer than when there is little or no prospective reward. These results seemed to indicate that if a stimulus is associated with a reward, it becomes more salient, grabbing more of our attention and thus distorting how long we perceive it to last. Time can also seem to move slower if we experience awe (likely from feeling more present and “in the moment”) or fear (possibly so that we have more time to prepare to react to fear-inducing stimuli). Our experience of time is also influenced by cues from our bodies. Visual input, body movements, and information we receive from our tissues are connected to time perception, leading to what is called the embodied perspective of time perception in humans, which tells us that our brain’s interpretation of signals throughout our body is a crucial element of how we perceive time.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! The International Organization for Standardization is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations.The organization develops and publishes worldwide technical, industrial and commercial standards. ISO Standards are internationally agreed upon by experts, often thought of as a formula that describes the optimal way of doing something. These standards vary in type and cover a wide range of actrivities such as making a product, managing a process, delivering a service or supplying materials. Standards are the distilled wisdom of people with expertise in their subject matter and who know the needs of the organizations they represent. These experts could be manufacturers, sellers, buyers, customers, trade associations, users or regulators. Some examples of standards include: Quality management standards to help work more efficiently and reduce product failures. Environmental management standards to help reduce environmental impacts, reduce waste and be more sustainable. Health and safety standards to help reduce accidents in the workplace. Ergonomic standards to ensure workers move safely in certian job roles.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! The probability of developing products and environments that are accessible for everyone lies within the concept of universal design. There are seven principles of universal design that serve as a foundation for designers and Human Factors practitioners that help make usable interfaces for all people no matter what age, technical expertise, or physical ability. Equitable use, states that usable and accessible design is provided for people with a wide range of abilities. Flexibility in use, aims to accommodate to user’s preferences and abilities. Simple and intuitive use, seeks to create easy-to-understand design solutions for a variety of users who all possess different knowledge, experience, language abilities, and more. Perceptible information, states that design solutions portray information clearly and effectively to the user. Tolerance for error, promotes design that minimizes hazards resulting from user error. Low physical effort, asks designers to develop designs that maximize comfort and minimize the discomfort that can result from too much physical exertion or unnatural body positioning. Lastly, size and space for approach and use, states that users are provided with appropriate size and space for approach when interacting with a design. Following the set of principles listed above can aid in promoting inclusive design to all users. This has been another Human Factors Minute!

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! According to the granddaughter of the second officer aboard the Titanic, Charles Lightoller, The Titanic sank from human error. A new steering system led to a mistake by the steersman, into going "hard a port" instead of "hard a starboard" and straight into the iceberg instead of away from it. According to the second officer's ancestor, a Charles Lightoller was the most senior officer to survive. He kept the secret from two separate inquiries because, according to his granddaughter, he saw it as his duty to protect the White Star Line from bankruptcy. He only told his wife the truth. His family kept it secret after his death to protect his reputation. He was a twice decorated war hero. To make matter's worse, the chairman of the White Star Line, owner of the Titanic, ordered the ship to keep sailing. If they had stayed still as the captain had wanted, the ship would have taken hours to sink. Long enough to rescue everyone aboard. Instead, 1500 people died.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! In order for people to recognize and avoid dangerous conditions, they must be see the hazard. Adequate illumination is critical for people to detect and identify hazards in time to avoid them. We measure the illumination and reflectivity of objects to determine their relative contrast, and the resulting visibility. Our eyes handle a huge range of light visibility, in part by using two types of receptors: rods, which work well under low light conditions, and cones that work best under bright conditions. In low light conditions, such as the outer edges of a headlight or work light beam, brightness contrast is what matters most. This is because the rods, which detect very low levels of light, only come in one model, whereas cones come in three models. Having three different types of cones allows us to differentiate colors, and having only one type of rods leaves us in a black and white world. In the case of safety and forensics, establishing visibility is only the first step. The follow up question is always, “when was this object noticeable”. This has been another Human Factors Minute!

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Virtual manufacturing and response surface methodology (VMRSM) is a method in ergonomics to use computerized tools and statistical analysis for workstation design. Computerized tools help assist and enable an individual to simulate an evaluate a large mnumber of design configurations with respect to multiple performance measures. Many of the tools available have the capability to model a workstation, but fail to model the interaction a user may have with a given workspace. By combining the virtual modeling tools with an analysis by the ergonomist, human performance and ergonomic needs can be assessed to design these workstations. The advantage of this method is that many computer tools are defined by metrics (like height, length, depth) and this frees up the analyst to focus on workflow, rather than specific parameters.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Hearing has a much greater impact on performance than most people realize. Modern aircraft designs put high demands on vision as the primary sense for information gathering, but such designs can lead to increased attentional demands that have the potential to decrease situational awareness. To compensate, sound has become more important for delivering information or to divert a pilot’s attention to an area that needs monitoring. At a very basic level, the ability to hear a signal will affect a pilot’s ability to respond to that signal. A signal could be missed because of physical problems related to the ear or because of environmental issues such as noise. In addition to signal interference, noise associated with flight can cause physiological and/or psychological problems that can degrade performance. The effects of noise on performance are complex. However, from an operational point of view, one of the most important issues is how noise affects attention. A number of studies have explored this issue. Findings demonstrated that noise tends to decrease the ability to share attention between several concurrent tasks, especially when the tasks must be performed for extended periods of time.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas? One of those is the The Surface Transportation Technical Group (STTG) This technical group provides a forum for people involved or interested in human factors to exchange information, methodologies, and ideas that are being developed and/or applied in the international surface transportation field. The TG’s interest encompasses numerous modes for transporting humans and resources: passenger, commercial, and military vehicles, both on- and off-road; mass transit; maritime transportation; rail transit, including Vessel Traffic Services (VTS); pedestrian and bicycle traffic; and highway and infrastructure systems. In essence, surface transportation refers to all forms of transit outside the aerospace sector. Members of the Surface Transportation Technical Group recognize that the human operator is an integral component of a system (comprised of the operator, the surface vehicle, and the environment), just as the pilot is an integral component of the aircraft system. Therefore, the same effort that goes into designing and developing the vehicle and its infrastructure must be put into optimizing the behavior and performance of the operator. As the performance capabilities of ground, rail, and waterbased vehicles become more advanced, accompanied by equal advances in the complexity of the operating environments, action must be take to ensure that vehicle handlers are able to perform their tasks with minimal errors and maximum comfort. In addition to focusing upon the relationship between operators and their vehicles, members of the STTG are concerned with the behavior and performance of others who interact with these vehicles, including passengers, pedestrians, service personnel, etc. Furthermore, as the Information Age leads to technological developments that can enhance the safety and efficiency of transportation systems, STTG members are becoming more and more interested in the effects of infrastructure development (e.g., highways, traffic control devices, traffic management centers, etc.) on vehicle operators.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Macroergonomic analysis of structure (MAS) is a method that analyzes the structure of work systems according to their compatibility with unique sociotechnical aspects. According to this methodology, the structure of a work system is conceptualized as having three core dimensions: complexity, formalization, and centralization. The analytical method also focuses onthe degree of differentiation and integration, job standardization, and the extent to which decision-making authority is shared. The analysis provides guidance on how to correct the structure for more optimal work system functioning. This can help identify how to refine the work system’s processes and ultimately improve successful human factors and ergonomics design, intervention, or implementation.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Accidents happen. People fall, things break and products fail in all kinds of environments on a daily basis. Premises Liability claims involve ascertaining whether the landowner is liable. It's a required that property owners must maintain safe premises for patrons and invitees, even foreseeable trespassers. Many of these cases involve slips, trips and falls, in which human factors design principles are often violated, leading to the inability to detect and indentify the hazard in enough time to avoid it. Common examples are sidewalks in disrepair, location and design of retail displays, and visibility and lighting issues. Other needs for safe premises are locations where railroads are located in close proximity to pedestrian generators and accumulators, such as shopping centers and community parks. Passing locomotives and trains are considered an attractive nuisance, which draws onlookers, especially children. Effective safeguards are essential to protect the public.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Anthropotechnology is a method that considers analysis and design modification of systems for the efficient transfer of technology from one culture to another. Anthropotechnic is a term used in art, science and literature to denote something with aspects of both man and machine. In the case of art, it is claimed that the "modified" does not set a limit but instead opens an infinite horizon that is as wide and limitless as human desires. Another conceptualization is that anthropotechnic is a set of rules that we make to tame, teach, and train ourselves. The concept is distinguished from anthropotechnology which focuses on the study and improvement of working and living conditions. Anthropotechnology, in the technology sector, it is any field of science that attempts to make machines and automation more user-friendly. In sociology, it is used to describe the relationship between man and anything that is perceived as inflexible or inhumane such as slavery, religion or animals. One common case cited through history, particularly during the 18th century, is that freemasonry could also be considered anthropotechnic in the sense that it acted as a caste of technocrats managing society and the human sphere.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas? One of those is the Perception and Performance Technical Group The Perception and Performance Technical Group’s primary purpose is to promote exchanging information about perception and its relation to human performance. As its name implies, PPTG encompasses all sensory/perceptual modalities, not just vision. Areas of concern include the nature, content, and quantification of sensory information and the context in which it is displayed; the physics and psychophysics of information display; perceptual and cognitive representation and interpretation of displayed information; and more. Because the perceptual processing of sensory information is relevant to so many aspects of human performance across modalities, the professional interests and activities of PPTG members are diverse. Some individuals conduct research on perceptual processes and the impact on performance of displaying information in specific sensory modalities, whereas others apply the results of this research to the design of information displays and supporting products.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Alarms and alarm systems are often an integral aspect of a Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), along with displays and controls. An effective HMI should support optimal human performance. Alarms help personnel to maintain a system or process within a safe operating ‘envelope’ and help them recognise early and respond to faults, malfunctions or abnormal conditions. An alarm can be defined as an audible or visual indication of an equipment malfunction, process deviation, or abnormal condition requiring a response by a person. A key point is that every alarm should have a clearly defined operator response. If a response cannot be defined, then the signal generated by the Human-Machine Interface should not be an alarm. Ineffective alarm management has often been cited as a contributory factor in major accidents around the world. Alarm management refers to the processes and practices for designing, operating, monitoring and maintaining alarm systems. This has been another Human Factors Minute!
