Human Performance, Workload, and Situational Awareness Measures Handbook, Third Edition - 2-Volume Set

This handbook was developed to help researchers and practitioners select measures to be used in the evaluation of human/machine systems. The handbook begins with an overview of the steps in developing a test to measure human performance, workload, and/or situational awareness, followed by a definition of human performance and a review of measures.

This two-volume set was developed to help researchers and practitioners select measures to be used in the evaluation of human/machine systems. It can also be used to supplement classes at both the undergraduate and graduate courses in ergonomics, experimental psychology, human factors, human performance, measurement, and system test and evaluation. Volume 1 of the handbook begins with an overview of the steps involved in developing a test to measure human performance, workload, and/or situational awareness. This is followed by a definition of human performance and a review of human performance measures. Situational Awareness is similarly treated in a subsequent chapter. Volume 2 presents a definition of workload and a review of workload measures.
