    Behavioral Theory of Timing and Poisson Processes

    The Behavioral Theory of Timing comes to us from Peter Killeen and Gregor Fetterman in 1988. The general idea is that the reinforcement of behaviors generates knowledge of the average amount of time between reinforcement. This knowledge is what sets our internal clock, which then tells us when to perform the behavior. The transitions between behaviors are considered a Poisson Process. A Poisson Process is a probability concept that can be applied to many real-world situations. For something to qualify as a Poisson Process, events must be independent of each other, the average rate of events is constant, and two events cannot occur at the same time. For example, we can think of how often a website will go down in a given time period or how often customers will call a help center. Back to our Behavioral Theory of Timing! This model of timing is a formalization of the concept that behavior is the mediator of temporal control, linking it to the behaviorist movement in psychology that began in the early 1900s. Like other theories of timing, the Behavioral Theory of Timing posits that we have a pacemaker-accumulator system, or that an oscillator of some type generates pulses that are summed by a hypothetical "accumulator." Variations in timing accuracy are explained as errors from the pacemaker or accumulator.

    Virtual Fit Multivariate Anthropometric Tool

    ...and now for another Human Factors Minute! The Virtual Fit Multivariate Anthropometric Tool was developed by HFES in collaboration with Penn State University to make multivariate accommodation estimates for North American users. The tool works by calculating the percent of the population that would be able to be accommodated by a specific design, and it also allows specification based on gender proportion. It uses a multivariate analysis approach, which is based on the idea that designs can fail to fit users in multiple ways. A product may be designed too short for one person, or too narrow, but this failure to fit in both situations may not always be shared by the same person. Designs may use multiple anthropometric measures. For example, a chair can be measured in several ways such as seat depth, seat width, and seat height. This tool allows designers and ergonomists to check their measurements for the highest percent accommodation that they intend. When considering a real world use case of a standing workstation desk, the tool can be used by entering the dimensions for the product into The Virtual Fit spreadsheet. First, the estimated gender proportion of users is populated into the tool. Then, when the height of the surface desk is entered into the tool, the designer or ergonomist will be given a percent of the population that will be appropriately accommodated by this dimension. You can use the Virtual Fit Tool for free via the Penn State website (https://www.openlab.psu.edu/tools/vft/). This has been another Human Factors Minute!

    Heart Rate Monitoring

    Heart rate monitoring is often used to gather real-time data from a user’s physiological response while they are performing tasks on a product or system. This is an important biometric & neuro-measurement tool because it senses unconscious changes in a user’s stress, workload, and drowsiness. Since mental processing like emotional reactions and decision-making happen unconsciously, it offers more insight to how a user’s body is responding to a given situation.  In user studies, if a participant is having trouble completing a task, they might become more emotionally aroused and stressed. Even if they verbally express that they aren’t having much difficulty, heart rate monitoring can provide insight into the actual physiological response during various tasks.  There are a few main methods of gathering data from heart rate monitoring: A PPG, or photoplethysmogram, has an optical sensor which measures discoloration of a user’s skin as blood runs through capillaries and arteries with each heartbeat. The most common PPGs are usually fingertip sensors or wrist bracelets and they are low-cost, not very intrusive, and easy to set up. However, they have more “noise” and “waveform morphology” variation than the other method, electrocardiogram. Both ECG and EKG reference an electrocardiogram, which directly measures the heart’s electrical activation. It creates different waveform data than a PPG, but it’s the most accurate for real-time heart monitoring. A wearable EKG chest monitor is the most accurate way outside of a hospital setting to gather a user’s heart rate data. The downside to these devices is that they’re typically expensive and more intrusive than a PPG.

    The Diffusion Model

    The diffusion model is a psychological model of how we process a single-stage decision when there is a simple choice between two options. This is beneficial both in human decision making as it allows for a conclusion to potentially be reached earlier than in complex decision making. One of the key distinctions of diffusion models is that they are dynamic - able to describe the evolution of a person’s preferences over time. When discussed in terms of cognition, diffusion modeling is the mathematical representation of decision field theory, an approach to human decision making, which aims to describe how people make decisions rather than prescribe what decisions people should or ought to make. Cognitive scientists have been using this model to measure performance in tasks ranging from sensory detection and perceptual discrimination to memory recognition and categorization. In neuroscience, these models have demonstrated an ability to account for behavioral decision making for which traditional models used in economics and psychology cannot. Successful implementation of diffusion models in cognition and neuroscience, demonstrate that they may be a key in providing a bridge between neural models of sensory-motor tasks and behavioral models of complex-cognitive tasks.

    HFETAG - Standardization

    Did you know the The Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group is composed of 19 sub Technical Advisory Groups? One of those is the Human Factors Standardization (HFS) SubTAG. This SubTAG aims to identify programs and initiatives that are needed within the Department of Defense, specifically within Human Factors Standardization Area of Consideration (HFAC), other government lead standardization activities, and offices of primary record. The group's goal is also to provide advisory support to ensure successful coordinated efforts in implementing planned Human Factors Standardization. Avoiding duplication among DoD standardization is a critical function of this group as duplicated standards may lead to conflicting guidance. Lastly, this group aims to maximize and enhance the exchange of standardization information between the DoD human factors community and other government, non-government standards bodies, and other technical societies and industry groups. Much of this group's work includes identifying problems and opportunities on standardization activities, suggesting proposed actions to address the problems and exploiting opportunities for government-industry cooperation in resolving them. They also work to identifiy effective and efficient means of using standards in acquisition programs.

    OSHA Standard 1910

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration protects millions of workers through a labor code of federal regulations. OSHA 1910 ensures the adoption and extension of legal standards, creating general workplace safety requirements that apply to all industries. OSHA 1910 establishes compliance duties, air contaminant provisions, rules for walking and working surfaces, hazardous materials, personal protective equipment, first aid, emergency planning, and fire protection. Combined, these measures can increase workplace safety with dramatic effect. Since its implementation, OSHA has reduced workplace injuries and deaths by 50%. Human factors and ergonomics are at the heart of these life saving safety regulations. For instance they play a key role in a company’s policies, programs, and procedures, along with the physical design of the workplace environments. Additionally, Human Factors plays an important part in establishing training programs for worker competency and skill. Ergonomics can also contribute to the processes and procedures used to evaluate work practices that may cause long-term harm to a worker’s body. To discover more ways that human factors and ergonomics shape occupational safety policy, go to www.osha.gov.
