2. 1. Workload transitions and stress : changes over time

   Author : Erik Prytz; Mark Scerbo; USA VA Norfolk Old Dominion University Department of Psychology; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; human factors; workload transition; stress; workload;

   Abstract : Workload transitions are situations where operators are suddenly confronted with levels of workload substantially different from previously established levels. Workload transitions may affect the operators' state of stress and coping behaviors but previous research has not conclusively demonstrated the nature of those. READ MORE

4. 2. Cognitive Workload and the Driver : Understanding the Effects of Cognitive Workload on Driving from a Human Information Processing Perspective

   Author : Christopher J.D. Patten; Ola Svenson; Håkan Alm; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cognitive workload; human information processing; driver distraction; human error; performance shaping factors PSF ; intelligent transport systems ITS ; peripheral detection task PDT ; Psychology; Psykologi; psykologi; Psychology;

   Abstract : This doctoral dissertation in psychology focuses on present day transport research issues. Society is affected by the way that our transport system works. In one way or another, the use of the transport system involves different levels of human involvement and control. READ MORE

5. 3. Real-Time Workload Models : Expressiveness vs. Analysis Efficiency

   Author : Martin Stigge; Wang Yi; Sanjoy Baruah; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Real-time systems; task models; EDF; fixed-priority scheduling; schedulability analysis; response-time analysis; abstraction refinement; Computer Science with specialization in Real Time Systems; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot realtidssystem;

   Abstract : The requirements for real-time systems in safety-critical applications typically contain strict timing constraints. The design of such a system must be subject to extensive validation to guarantee that critical timing constraints will never be violated while the system operates. READ MORE

6. 4. Mental workload in basic civil aviation training

   Author : Nicklas Dahlström; Trafikflyghögskolan; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aviation training; mental workload; glass cockpit; heart rate;

   Abstract : Although the aviation industry has gone through great technological and commercial change in the last decades, basic civil aviation training has not changed accordingly. The consequences of the changes in civil aviation have rarely resulted in research programs in the field of basic civil aviation training and this phase, where future pilots gain their first sets of skills and knowledge, has long received only minimal attention from the aviation industry.

7. 5. Experimental studies of human-computer interaction : working memory and mental workload in complex cognition

   Author : Erik Wästlund; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Information processing; Problem-solving; Working memory; ST-WM; LT-WM; Dual-task; Mental workload; Reading; Page layout; VDT; Convergent; Divergent; Psykologi; Psychology; Information processing; Problem-solving; Working memory; ST-WM; LT-WM;

   Abstract : Complex cognition is readily described as cognitive tasks requiring the coordination of multiple steps of processing or tasks exceeding short term memory capacity. Similarly, mental workload may be described as the use and temporary expenditure of a finite amount of information processing capacity. READ MORE
