| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| human capacity | knowledge of _____ is important to understand physical performance of a task |
| stages of information processing | it is also important to know stages of ____ from original stimuli through to response to appreciate how humans interact in complex environments |
| human information processing model | developed to help understand different aspects of human performance and environmental interactions |
| sensory processing > perception > memory and cognition > sensory response and execution > feedback > attention | 6 steps of human information processing model |
| sensory processing | sensory organs gather information and events and then convert physical energy to electrical energy to send the brain. |
| visual (iconic) | 100ms to 500ms |
| auditory (echoic) | 3s to 5s |
| perception | is the comparison of incoming stimulus information with stored knowledge to categorize the information. |
| simple detection | most basic form of perception |
| top-down processing | perception of objects based on expectation, associations, and context even when the quality of features is degraded |
| bottom-up feature analysis | perception based on sensory system first |
| bottom-up processing | refers to processing sensory information as it is coming in |
| top-down processing | refers to perception that is driven by cognition |
| maximize bottom-up processing | high visibility, legibility and audibility to prevent confusion due to similar message sets |
| maximize automaticity by using familiar perceptual representation | familiar fonts, language, meaningful icons, and symbols |
| maximize top-down processing | maximize discriminating features, create context, exploit redundancy, and use a smaller vocabulary. |
