The Use of Statistical Quality Control Charts to Evaluate Changes in Individual Performance
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1997-10-01)
An employee's readiness to perform (RTP) has become an important issue facing today's industries. Some industries have turned to cognitive performance testing to provide answers regarding their employee's abilities to work ...
Application of a Predictive Coke Temperature Model to Heat Stress Experimentation
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1980-10-01)
An interactive procedure for evaluating and maintaining an individual's core temperature at a predetermined level was developed and tested. The procedure involved the use of previously developed models for predicting core ...
Observations on Infrared Radiation at the Workplace
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1980-10-01)
A discussion of the use of radiant heating in sedentary workplaces is presented. The advantages of the approach with respect to energy conservation are emphasized along with accompanying effects on worker comfort and ...
Evaluation of Static Work Capabilities in a Hot Environment
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1979-10-01)
The effects of heat stress on an individual's static work capabilities were investigated. Various indicators of strength and endurance were measured under differing heat stress levels. One measure which exhibited a significant ...
Speed-Accuracy Tradeoffs in Spatial Orientation Information Processing
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1983-10-01)
A study was conducted to further evaluate the Manikin Task, a test of spatial orientation information processing. The objectives of the study were to determine the speed vs. accuracy tradeoff characteristics of the task ...
Development of the Criterion Task Set Performance Data Base
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1986-09-01)
The initial phase of a large-scale experimental study was conducted involving the training and testing of fifty human subjects on the Criterion Task Set (Version 1.0). Testing was performed under baseline conditions and ...
Diagnosis of Low Back Injury Using Strength Measurement
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1984-10-01)
A study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of using strength measurement as a diagnostic technique for assessing low back injuries involving symptomatic lumbar spine disease. The approach was to evaluate differences ...
Training Characteristics of the Criterion Task Set Workload Assessment Battery
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1985-10-01)
An evaluation of the Criterion Task Set was performed to determine the training requirements for the various tasks. Twenty subjects were divided into four groups. One group trained on all nine tasks in the battery. The ...
Applying Quality Control Charts to the Analysis of Single-Subject Data Sequences
(Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2000-12-01)
Techniques from the field of quality control can be used to classify the quality of individual samples of physical or cognitive performance. After stable baselines have been established for an individual, deviations in ...
Toward the Construction of an Efficient Set of Robot Arm Operator Performance Metrics
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2004-09-01)
As part of a larger project to identify and validate relevant quantitative measures of robot arm operator proficiency, fifteen metrics of arm maneuvering and hand controller performance were defined and measured for 3-DOF ...
