About this episode

This episode discusses the Human Performance Measurement SubTAG and its role in assessing human performance in relation to workload, stress, and cognitive demands.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! 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 Performance Measurement SubTAG The Workload, Stress and Human Performance SubTAG serves as an ad hoc committee in assessing, guiding, and improving the technical investigation among all government agencies to understand the unique impact on human performance of operator and crew workload, stress, fatigue, and cognitive/collaboration demands in an increasingly networked environment. This subTAG focuses on the body of knowledge, concepts, principles, data, methodology, and criteria pertaining to human physical and mental performance characteristics, its effect on the design of all system interfaces, and contribution to systems and operational effectiveness within manned systems and in coordination with unmanned systems or with distributed/remote collaborators connected through communication networks. This man machine integration technology is to be applied in the planning, design, development and testing of all manned systems and it is the technical information needed to…
