Perceived Complexity and Cognitive Stability in Human-Centered Design

نویسنده

  • Guy A. Boy
چکیده

Perceived complexity is analyzed in conjunction with cognitive stability in the context of potential use in human-centered design. These human factors are useful in the process of understanding co-adaptation of people and technology, and consequently for the evaluation of the maturity of a product. Expertise and experience play an important role in the definition and refinement of these two concepts. This paper presents a first account of such concepts in the context of aircraft cockpit design.

Perceived complexity versus internal complexity Did we take into account expertise , reliability and cognitive stability ?

Human reliability issues in safety-critical systems, in aviation for example, motivated and still motivate the design and use of protections that can be tool-based or organizational. Software and hardware have been developed to overcome human reliability to enable both tolerance and resistance to human errors. Consequently, systems have become more complex and the distance between people and ac...
