European Conference of Cognitive Ergonomics workshop

admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 03:15:08 +0000

This year there is a new element to the ECCE; submissions for one-day workshop are being accepted. The workshops will be held Aug 24th 2010, a day before the ECCE 2010 conference. Workshop candidates should submit a 2 pages paper using the Template which is provided on the conference website. The paper should explain the topic of the workshop, how it is set up, how the participants will run through the workshop and the purpose of the workshop. International cartel are most welcomed and preferred.

The aim of the European Conference of Cognitive Ergonomics

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 03:15:00 +0000

This year the ECCE focus is to provide opportunities for researchers to exchange and develop their new ideas and practical experience in all areas of cognitive ergonomics. They get together to present and discuss all their innovative research and hard work. ECCE 2010 all the participants share all their knowledge and research in cognitive ergonomics with the goal of developing and elevate the relationship between cognitive sciences and all the technical data processing system developments.

Cognitive Objectives

Cognitive ergonomics which the operator of all the industry these days is totally dependent on the processes including the diagnostics and the effective decision realization and planning for the same. Performance is all what matters the industries the most hence cognitive ergonomics is also concentrated on enhancing it along with the regular processes. It involved to better the interaction of humans with machines as well.

Cognitive ergonomics needs to be framed

Implementing cognitive ergonomics requires an appropriate framework. The matches and the mismatches of the cognitive processes can only be determined by an analytic conceptualization which is termed as framework here. The framework is made up of nothing else but the concepts, ideas and planning of the cognitive ergonomics. Not only the ideology or the concepts would complete the framework of the cognitive ergonomics rather it also requires the developing processes and the help used, to be included.

Framework required for cognitive ergonomics

Cognitive ergonomics requires a proper framework for its successful implementation. By framework I mean the formation of an analytic structure required for the purpose of identifying the similarities and dissimilarities between the different cognitive processes. What it requires is for all the concepts and ideology of the cognitive ergonomics. Also, the development practices and the support required for it is needed for the framework in cognitive ergonomics.

Goals of cognitive ergonomics

Cognitive ergonomics focuses all its purpose on cognitive processes which include diagnosis, decision making and planning which one needs as an operator in modern industries. The main purpose except for carrying out different steps for a particular process includes enhancing of their performance. It includes design for human-machine interaction and HCI, making training programs, bring about increase in human reliability and development of systems in support for cognitive processes such as cognitive artifacts

Methods used in Cognitive Ergonomics

Much is talked about cognitive ergonomics and how it is used in new technologies and designs. The process of getting there is just as important as it sets the tone for all the research. As time has gone methods and theories have been refined. First there was Hierarchical Task Analysis which was published in 1992 by Kirwan and Ainsworth. Also in the 90s works published included Hutchins “Distributed Cognition” and “Activity Theory” by Nardi. Now in the 2000s we have seen more works pop up including the “Cognitive Task Analysis”.

What is Cognitive Ergonomics?

admin — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:05:00 +0000

Traditionally Ergonomics is known as “fitting systems to humans” which translates out to using tools, equipment, tasks and environments to suit certain human cognitive abilities and take into account human limitations. To simply this we only have to look at an example such as designing a keyboard that maximizes our ability to type accurately and at speed or creating the ultimate race car that fits a driver. The goal of cognitive ergonomics is to limit human error when dealing with often complex machines and user interfaces.

Homeland Security and Cognitive Ergonomics

admin — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:06:53 +0000

Even the US department of Homeland Security is running its own cognitive ergonomic studies. Recently they investigated if US citizens were even aware of the five levels of threat condition warning system. The five levels are: (low: green; guarded: blue; elevated: yellow; high: orange; severe: red). Once the study was concluded it went one step further to see how the wording, warning statements and color combinations effected the individuals. As you can see this plays a large role when dealing in a emergency situation. The proper use of colors and words could avert major loss of life.

Novice cell phone text messaging simulation

An interesting study in how novice cell phone users found their way around the keypad while trying to send text messages. New users were studied as they tried to find keys on the keypad and write coherent thoughts. Users were eventually asked memorize the keypad and repeat the tasks. Significant changes in time were observed from the first study to the next. As users became more adapt to the keypad their speed in typing vastly improved. This study goes a long way into helping cell manufactures understand the needs of new cell phone users in today technological society.
