The part task trainer for airborne weapons systems: Human factors evaluation of the user interface
- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (USA)
- Tennessee Univ., Knoxville, TN (USA). Dept. of Management
This research examined and evaluated the human factors aspects of a part-task trainer's user interface. Questionnaires, interviews, and observational techniques were used. A number of established human factors attributes were investigated such as user control and trainer fidelity. Recommendations were given for a variety of issues such as screen design (e.g., design log-on process and procedures for user identification to be as simple as possible); text display (e.g., avoid sentences exceeding 20 words); and training for cognitive skills (e.g., train time-sharing skills for dealing with high workload environments). The results and recommendations for future enhancements were reported. An installation process was documented and comments regarding its effectiveness were included. 21 refs., 1 tab.
