Q

tracking control tasks has 2 dimensions:

A

Lateral tracking: the roadway curvature
* best performance measure is the time-to-line crossing (TLC)
* average amount of time before crossing the line given the current heading and distance from the
lane edge.
Longitudinal tracking: different channels
1. Flow of motion along the roadway
2. Location or distance of hazards
3. Traffic control devices
* Performance measure: Time-to-contact (2 s rule)
* distance divided by speed difference

Q

Control tasks of driving

A

The lateral task of maintaining lane position can be thought of as a second-order control task.
* With preview (the roadway ahead).
* A predictor (the heading of the vehicle).
* constrained by the roadway curvature.

The longitudinal task is a first-order tracking task of speed keeping.
* The command input coming from internal goals (e.g., travel fast, but do not lose control; do not
get a ticket for speeding)
* or, external factors (behavior of other vehicles, hazards, traffic control signals in front)

Q

Limitations of motion detectors/optic flow and velocity perception

A

Motion detectors in the visual system detect motion
* Motion After Effect (MAE) when motion stops
Optic flow is the motion pattern on the retina due to self-motion
* used to extract heading information
* Used for distinguishing self-motion from object motion
Velocity perception
* Is detected directly (not derived from distance estimates)
* People adapt to high speeds
* Underestimation of velocity due to adaptation
* MAE makes it worse: for example, when leaving high-way!

Q

What is haptic perception?

A

Haptic perception is to sense an object’s properties trough touch, proprioception and
kinesthesis
* They are all part of the somatosensory system

Haptics can detect many features of objects like shape, texture, hardness, mass, weight,
temperature, etc.
Design issues:
* Touchscreens do not provide haptic feedback of keypresses
* In virtual reality it is extremely hard to provide realistic haptic feedback
* Tactile feedback can help discriminate controls
* Tactile feedback can off-load visually demanding tasks

A

Physical properties
* Sound pressure level
* Amplitude
* Frequency

Perceptual properties
* Pitch
* Loudness
* Duration
* Timbre

54
Q

Harmonic sounds

A

Complex tones consisting of the sum of sinusoids with frequencies that are integer multiples
of the fundamental frequency f0

55
Q

pitch

A

Pitch is a property of a harmonic, more or less periodic signal, i.e. the sound consists of pure sinusoids with frequencies that are all integral multiples of a common fundamental frequency.

aka high freq -> high pitch, vice versa

56
Q

Loudness

A

Loudness is a perceptual property which we attribute to a perceived sound source.
Loudness is perceived as an attribute that can be ordered from soft to hard.
The presence of other sounds can affect the loudness of a sound source. This is called masking

57
Q

Restauration

A

The intensities of only a few partials must be 15 to 20 dB above masking level.
Pitch is one of the most robust perceptual attributes of a sound.
But there is more, if the auditory system has evidence that information of the sound signal is masked, it can restore the information

58
Q

A

The level of a frequency component of a warning signal does not have to be much higher than 15 dB above its masking level.

60
Q

Selective attention - Four factors determine what we attend to:

A

Attention is limited. Four factors determine what we attend to:
– Salience (colors, warning signals)
– Effort
– Expectancy
– Value

61
Q

What is effort wrt attention?

A

Effort is modelled as moving attention from one Area of Interest to another, assuming that such effort is monotonically related to the distance between AOIs, in Wickens’ Attention-Situation Awareness Model.

62
Q

what is expectancy wrt attention?

A

The frequency with which events or changes occurred to information contained within the
Area of Interest.

Certain cues are expected by a mental model of a given situation.

63
Q

what is Vigilance

A

Vigilance, a state of readiness to respond despite long intervals of empty waiting.
The focus is more strongly on lapses of attention.
Most common paradigm is the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT).

64
Q

what is phonological loop

A

represents verbal information in an acoustical form

65
Q

What is visuospatial sketchpad ?

A

The visuospatial sketchpad holds information in an analog spatial form (e.g., visual imagery)

66
Q

What is The episodic buffer?

A

The episodic buffer orders and sequences events and communicates with long-term memory to provide meaning to the information held in the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad.
enables a meaningful sequence of events—a story—to be remembered much more easily than an unordered sequence

67
Q

What is the difference between Schemas and scripts

A

The knowledge structure about a particular topic is often termed a schema.

Schemas that describe a typical sequence of activities, are called scripts.

68
Q

why is the concept of a mental model useful?

A

(a) guiding attention to relevant aspects of the situation,
(b) a means of integrating information perceived to form an understanding of its meaning, and
(c) a mechanism for projecting future states of the system based on its current state and an understanding of its dynamics.

69
Q

steps of decision making

A
  • Acquire and integrate a number of cues, or pieces of information, which are received from the environment and go into working memory.
  • Interpret and assess cues and then use this interpretation to generate one or more situation assessments, diagnoses, or inferences as to what the
    cues mean.
  • Plan and choose one of alternative actions
  • Monitor and correct the effects of decisions.
70
Q

Perception – Cognition - Action

A

Tasks:
* Perceive the objects and events in the world
* Reason about their relevance to your goals and current activity
* Determine action and act accordingly

71
Q

Information Processing System Stages of Information Transformation

A

Sensation: transform of physical into neural energy
Perception: comprehension of information in the environment
Central processing: transforming and remembering the information
Responding: behavior production

72
Q

What is inattentional blindness

A

Reason:
AQenMon is focused on something else.

73
Q

Stressors

A

Stressors: Influences on information processing not inherent in the
information itself

Environmental (Physical) stressors
– Noise
– Vibration
– Heat
– (Dim) lighting

Psychological stressors

  2. Change in physiology
  3. Efficiency of information processing
  4. Long-term health effects
75
Q

Psychological stressors:

A
  • analysis of likely circumstances of emergency and actions
  • design of displays, controls and procedures
    – easy to locate and salient
    – prevent cognitive tunneling (but see HuD)
  • actions should not rely on working memory
    – place knowledge in the world (symbols, labels, manuals, …)
  • explicit instructions of emergency actions
  • compatibility with conventional action patterns
  • avoid excessive stimulation (auditory, visual, tactile, …)
  • extensive training
    – long-term instead of working memory
    – learning how to respond (overlearn appropriate responses)
76
Q

Psychological stressors: life stress

A

  1. Sleep loss (less than 7-9 hours of sleep a night)
  2. Performance at low point of circadian rhythm (early morning)
    * 4 of the largest nuclear power plant disasters occurred in the morning shift
  3. Disruption of circadian rhythm (jet lag, shift work)
84
Q

Circadian Rhythm

A

Circadian Rhythm (= day-night rhythm)
– Effects of sleep loss and circadian cycle are additive

85
Q

Strategies to tackle circadian rhythm

A
  • Shift work strategies to deal with circadian disruption
    – Assign workers permanently to different shifts
  • Not effective when some natural day-night rhythm remains
  • Social acceptance is low
    – Continuous rotation of shifts
  • No chance to fully adapt
    – Infrequent rotation of shifts
  • Particularly vulnerable on first (night) shift after a change
  • Delayed shifts are more effective than the other way around
  • Longer shifts (10 or more hours) cause more errors

– Caffeine
* not effective in the long run
* Not able to sleep when there is time to sleep
