October 20, 2024 HITOP
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
high integration of technology, organization, and people HITOP is a step-by-step manual procedure for industry practitioners who must implement technological change.
The basic premises of the procedure are that technological change will be more successfully
implemented when managers and designers are aware of the organizational and human implications of
their technology plans, and that this knowledge is used to design systems that integrate technology within its organizational and human context.
HITOP was developed in direct response to an industry-identified need for simple tools that identify likely organizational and human implications of technology plans.
With HITOP, companies preparing for technology changes are provided with the forms, checklists, terms, and questions for assessing the human and organizational changes needed to support the technology changes.

September 30, 2024 HFESTG - Individual Differences in Performance
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas? One of those is the
The Individual Differences in Performance Technical Group. The Individual differences technical group was established to serve HFES members who share an interest in any of the wide range of individual differences or variables that are believed to mediate human performance.
Members of this TG share a common view that the study of these differences as related to human performance is not only useful but also may lead to better design of equipment, prediction of human task performance, operational environments, and training and selection.
The domain of research and applied topics shared within this technical group includes a broad range of individual differences such as performance ability, gender, intelligence, education, training level, personality traits, and anthropometric variables.
The Individual differences TG domain also includes investigating a wide range of social, cognitive, and biological origins of individual differences.
The crucial unifying principle of the TG is the importance of such variables for the advancement of human factors theory, research, and application.
The motto adopted as a guide for the group is “Prevent injury and improve performance and human-technology interaction by recognizing individual differences in human capabilities and
limitations.”

September 20, 2024 Product Liability
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
For almost a century, manufacturers have had the burden to provide products that are safe for the intended uses AND foreseeable misuses of their products. When product users are injured through the foreseeable use (or misuse) of a product, we analyze three phases of the product's development: the design, guards and warnings.
Manufacturers have the responsibility to eliminate known hazards, or to take reasonable steps to guard the user from being inadvertently exposed to the hazard. If the hazard cannot be feasibly eliminated or guarded, effective instructions and warnings are necessary to alert and inform the user about the hazard, how to avoid the hazard, and the consequences of not avoiding the hazard.
We can determine the likelihood that the defect existed when it left the manufacturer's hands, if the product was unreasonably altered, and if a defect was the proximate cause of an injury. Product liability often includes human factors analysis of the adequacy of instructions and warnings that accompanied the product.

September 10, 2024 Kansei Method
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!

The Kansei method is a method that transforms consumer's responses to new products into design specifications. Also known as Kansei engineering this discipline aims at the development or improvement of products and services by translating the customer's psychological feelings and needs into the domain of product design and parameters. As a result, products can be designed to bring forward the intended feeling.
Kansei engineering can be considered as a methodology within the research field of 'affective engineering' and can be used as a tool for product development.
Three focal points in the kansei method include:
Accurately understanding the consumer
Reflecting and translating consumer understanding into product design
and How to create a system and organization for consumer orientated design

August 31, 2024 Augmented Cognition
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Augmented Cognition research and development efforts seek to extend a user’s abilities via computational technologies that are explicitly designed to address and accommodate bottlenecks, limitations, and biases in cognition, such as limitations in attention, memory, learning, comprehension, visualization abilities, and decision making. At its core, the Augmented Cognition is concerned with fostering the development and application of:
• Real-time physiological and neurophysiological sensing technologies that can ascertain a
human’s cognitive state while interacting with computing-based systems;
• Mitigation (adaptive) strategies that enable efficient and effective system adaptation based on
a user’s dynamically changing cognitive state;
• Individually-tailored training systems;
The Augmented Cognition aims to
discover, develop, and apply neuroscience-based methodologies and tools that can enhance the
human-centered approaches inl human-system integration issues,
specific human-computer interaction techniques, or a combination of both.
