A solid foundation in the understanding of the mental characteristics of humans and the design of artefacts and environments to match these characteristics. The perception, attention, mental workload, decision making, learning, memory and manual control processes underpinning human mental capacities and limitations are explored. The consequences of appropriate and inappropriate interactions with artefacts are examined in application areas such as display design, control-display compatibility, human computer interaction, shift work, safety and human error. |
