HF- stress/workload
Question | Answer |
---|---|
physical stressors | motion (vibration- high and low frequency), thermal factors, air quality |
thermal factors | best working temperatures winter- 68- 75 degrees summer- 73-79 degrees |
air quality | anoxia- lack of oxygen poor air quality ie. poor ventilation, pollution etc. |
Psychological stressors (individual) | Cognitive appraisal, level of arousal, performance and overarousal |
cognitive arousal | own perception of how risky a particular job is |
cognitive appraisal-reasons | 1. ability to understand risks involved 2. control of what you're doing or dependance on someone else |
level of arousal | too much stimulation, start new activity and its too much to handle |
performance and over-arousal | can go to lack of SA cognitive tunneling working memory loss |
Workload overload- TIMELINE MODEL: when designing a system (4 STEPS) | 1. ID task time- how long it takes to do task 2. prioritize-which tasks most important 3. resource demands and automation- can any tasks be automated? what resources are you using? (auditory, visual) 4. Multiple resources |
Mental workload measurement (4 STEPS) | 1. primary task 2. secondary task- if can do second task as well, not overloaded with work 3physiological measures- blink rate, heart rate 4. subjective measures |
Fatigue and Sleep disruption- impact on performance | stress sleep- ability to fall and stay asleep |
***vigilance and under arousal*** causes | 1. time- longer doing task, worse we become 2. event salience- likelihood what were looking for catches attention 3. signal rate- rate the tasks occur 4. arousal rate- attentional resources; high or low levels of workload |
Remediation (3 SOLUTIONS) | 1. frequent rest breaks 2. make signals more salient 3. increase payoffs (incentives) |
Sleep deprivation and performance | sleep requirement decreases with age to perform tasks at normal level time spent dreaming decreases with age |
circadian rhythms | body used to routine (sleep, eating etc.) disruption results in performance issues |
circadian disruption | 1. jet lag 2. shift work 3. seasonal affective disorder |
