This book was developed to help researchers and practitioners select measures for evaluating human/machine systems. It begins with an overview of the steps involved in developing a test to measure human performance, followed by a definition of human performance and a review of relevant human performance measures. Another section focuses on situational awareness, providing reviews of situational awareness measures. Each measure is described in detail, along with its strengths and limitations, data requirements, threshold values, and sources for further information. To enhance usability, the book includes extensive author and subject indices.
Key features include:
- A short engineering tutorial on experimental design
- Accessible information on human performance and situational awareness (SA) measures
- General descriptions of each measure
- Coverage of data collection, reduction, and analysis requirements
- Details on the strengths, limitations, or restrictions of each measure, including any proprietary rights or restrictions
The book is a valuable resource for those working in human/machine systems evaluation and aims to provide a comprehensive guide to selecting appropriate measures.
