Applied Attention Theory, Second Edition provides details
concerning the relevance of all aspects of attention to the world
beyond the laboratory. Topic application areas include the design
of warning systems to capture attention; attention distractions in
the workplace; failures of dividing attention while driving; and
the measurement of mental workload while flying. This new edition
discusses the implications of VR and AR for human attention. It
also covers the treatment of attention-based pedagogical methods
used to enhance learning and presents attentional issues in
interacting with automation and AI. New chapters include
applications of attention to healthcare, education pedagogy,
highway safety, and human interaction with autonomous vehicles and
other AI systems. The readership for this book is the professional,
the researcher, and the student.
upon completing this book, readers will be able to identify how
human ability contributes to the design of technology understand
the connections within human information processing and human
performance challenge the way they think about technology's
influence on human performance show how theoretical advances have
been, or might be, applied to improving human-machine interaction
New to the edition: A new chapter on research methods Sections on
interruption management and distracted driving as representation of
cogent examples of applications of engineering psychology theory to
problems in society A greatly increased number of references to
pandemics, technostress, and misinformation New applications
Amplified emphasis on readability and common-sense examples Updated
and new references throughout the text
Despite the strong safety record of the national airspace system,
serious disruptions occasionally occur, often as a result of
outdated or failed equipment. Under these circumstances, safety
relies on the skills of the controllers and pilots and on reducing
the number of aircraft in the air. The current and growing
pressures to increase the capacity to handle a greater number of
flights has led to a call for faster and more powerful equipment
and for equipment that can take over some of the tasks now being
performed by humans. Increasing the role of automation in air
traffic control may provide a more efficient system, but will human
controllers be able to effectively take over when problems occur?
This comprehensive volume provides a baseline of knowledge about
the capabilities and limitations of humans relative to the variety
of functions performed in air traffic control. It focuses on
balancing safety with the expeditious flow of air traffic,
identifying lessons from past air accidents. The book discusses:
The function of the national airspace system and the procedures for
hiring, training, and evaluating controllers. Decisionmaking,
memory, alertness, vigilance, sleep patterns during shift work,
communication, and other factors in controllers' performance.
Research on automation and human factors in air traffic control and
incorporation of findings into the system. The Federal Aviation
Administration's management of the air traffic control system and
its dual mandate to promote safety and the development of air
commerce. This book also offers recommendations for evaluation the
human role in automated air traffic control systems and for
managing the introduction of automation into current facilities and
operations. It will be of interest to anyone concerned about air
safety?policymakers, regulators, air traffic managers and
controllers, airline officials, and passenger advocates. Table of

Automation in air traffic control may increase efficiency, but it
also raises questions about adequate human control over automated
systems. Following on the panel's first volume on air traffic
control automation, Flight to the Future (NRC, 1997), this book
focuses on the interaction of pilots and air traffic controllers,
with a growing network of automated functions in the airspace
system. The panel offers recommendations for development of
human-centered automation, addressing key areas such as providing
levels of automation that are appropriate to levels of risk,
examining procedures for recovery from emergencies, free flight
versus ground-based authority, and more. The book explores ways in
which technology can build on human strengths and compensate for
human vulnerabilities, minimizing both mistrust of automation and
complacency about its abilities. The panel presents an overview of
emerging technologies and trends toward automation within the
national airspace system?in areas such as global positioning and
other aspects of surveillance, flight information provided to
pilots an controllers, collision avoidance, strategic long-term
planning, and systems for training and maintenance. The book
examines how to achieve better integration of research and
development, including the importance of user involvement in air
traffic control. It also discusses how to harmonize the wide range
of functions in the national airspace system, with a detailed
review of the free flight initiative. Table of Contents Front
