Effects of Human-Machine Competition on Intent Errors in a Target Detection Task

OBJECTIVE This investigation examined the impact of human-machine competition (John Henry effects) on intent errors. John Henry effects, expressed as an unwillingness to use automation, were hypothesized to increase as a function of operators' personal investment in unaided performance. BACKGROUND Misuse and disuse often occur because operators (a) cannot determine if automation or a nonautom...

Automation Usage Decisions: Controlling Intent and Appraisal Errors in a Target Detection Task

BACKGROUND It was proposed that misuse and disuse often occur because operators (a) cannot determine if automation or a nonautomated alternative maximizes the likelihood of task success (appraisal errors) or (b) know the utilities of the options but disregard this information when deciding to use automation (intent errors). OBJECTIVE This investigation assessed the effectiveness of performanc...

Methodology for Estimation of Benefits of Human-factors Engineering in Nextgen/sesar Development

The concepts-of-operation proposed for Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) and Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) implicitly require a significant improvement over existing standards for flightdeck human-computer interaction. Whereas in today’s airspace operations there is no routing penalty for delayed response to a required maneuver, flights in high density NextGen/SESAR...

Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids and Prohibited Substances Misuse among Iranian Recreational Female Bodybuilders and its Associated Psycho-socio-demographic Factors

Background: The growing tendency to anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) and prohibited substances misuse by female athletes is a new public health concern. Epidemiological studies in this field are necessary to introduce an effective preventive drug control program in gyms. This study directed to evaluate the prevalence of AAS and other banned substances use and...
