Advances in Understanding Human Performance

Combining emerging concepts, theories, and applications of human factors knowledge, this volume focuses on discovery and understanding of human performance issues in complex systems, including recent advances in neural basis of human behavior at work. Many chapters focus on analysis, design, and evaluation of challenges affecting students, trainees, members of the military, and persons with disabilities as well as universal design. In general, the chapters move from general to more specialized application.
