History of HFE
What are the goals of human factors?
What are safety, performance, and satisfaction
What is a stimulus variable?
What is things that affect behavior (i.e. design on an interface – color, shape)
What is the speed/accuracy tradeoff?
What is (most of the time) less time = less accuracy
What is retrieval failure?
What is information is there but we can’t access it
What is concurrent feedback?
What is feedback while task is performed
Where is human factors found?
What is academia, industry, and government
What are the three kinds of variance we want to control for?
What is experimental, extraneous, and error
What is the Three-Stage Model of Cognition?
What is Stimulus to Perception to Cognition to Action to Response
What is desirable difficulty?
What is start easy and make task harder and harder
What are the phases of learning?
What are cognitive, associative, and autonomous
What are three categories of human-machine system?
What are manual systems, mechanical systems, and automated systems
What is a null hypothesis?
What is we assume things are having no effect unless we can collect evidence that is unlikely to occur unless things differ
What is Go-No-Go?
What is when reaction is completed only for a subset of events
What is elaborative encoding?
What is connecting new information to other information
What are the training goals?
What are acquisition, retention, and transfer
Human error is a symptom of what?
What is improper design
What kind of design optimizes internal validity?
What is experimental designs
What is resource-limited processing?
What is improvements to accuracy not possible because of abilities
What are two ways to reduce extraneous information?
What is to remove irrelevant information (cartoons, jokes, related facts) and seductive details effect
What is germane load?
What is demand for resources necessary to learn the task
Why do we need human factors?
What is human intuition is often incorrect, incomplete, or absent
What two basic purposes of research design that Kerlinger and Lee suggested?
What is to provide answers to research questions and to control variance
What is working memory?
What is a multiple component, limited capacity system used to hold information online and allow manipulation of it
Was does Heath and Heath S.U.C.C.E.S. stand for?
What is... Simple, Unexpected, Concrete, Credible, Emotion, and Story
What is the four-level model for evaluating training?
What is reaction, learning, behavior, and results
