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 ...
Clinical Assessment of Electromagnetic Compatibility of Hearing Aids and Digital Wireless Phones
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1998-10-01)
Research studies have shown that digital wireless phones interact with some hearing aids, creating a buzzing noise that may reduce speech intelligibility. Interference signals for three phone technologies were generated ...
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 ...
Tactile Stimulation of the Human Head for Information Display
(Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1994-12-01)
A series of three studies was conducted to explore the use of tactile stimulation or light tapping of the human head to inform a pilot of possible threats or other situations in the flight environment. Study I confirmed ...
A Test of Fitts' Law in a Dual-Task Paradigm
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1993-10-01)
A simulated automobile driving environment was used to assess the validity of Fitts' Law under dual-task conditions. An aimed hand movement task was used as the Fitts task representative of reaching for controls on an ...
A Prediction Model for Consumer Behavior regarding Product Safety
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1986-09-01)
The objective of this study was the development of a model to predict whether a consumer would use a product safely as a function of sixteen different individual variables. Subjects were presented with four consumer products ...
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 ...
Power Window Control Location Stereotypes
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1992-10-01)
A paper-and-pencil survey instrument and an operational test were used to assess stereotype strength for automobile power window controls. Control panel layout (square vs. linear) and mounting plane were examined along ...
