Understanding the conditions under which variability in performance
may arise, and the processes related to its emergence, gives us
insight into the development of techniques for improving the
quality of performance. Variability in Human Performance details
the scientific and the practical implications of human performance
variability by providing a broad perspective on how and why such
variability occurs across a number of disciplinary domains. The
text takes an approach that rests upon the idea of context, or
design, specificity in performance, namely that variability in
performance is closely referenced to design factors in the
environment in which performance is occurring. An exploration of
the link between variability and related processes, the book
introduces a comprehensive framework for understanding human
performance variability, presented in terms of how human control of
behavior is closely tied to design factors in the performance
environment. The authors introduce empirical evidence, as well as
practical examples and application areas, in support of this
framework. The book begins with coverage of neurobiological and
biomechanical basis of movement variability, then examines rich and
extensive empirical evidence available for context specificity in
cognitive performance and learning, as a basis for cognitive
performance variability. The book then reviews the evidence for
context specificity in: Student learning Displaced feedback
conditions Human error behavior Affective performance Social and
team performance The authors also explore work performance as
influenced by complex sociotechnical systems and as a basis for
performance variability, applying control systems concepts to an
interpretation of the nature and basis of performance variability
in all of these domains. They conclude by taking an evolutionary
perspective on the origins and behavioral significance of human
performance variability. The book then provides strategies on how
individuals, groups, and organizations can significantly reduce
variability in human performance that often leads to systems
failures.
