Human information processingbasic principle

Perception of informationCapacitiy of the senses
optical channel up to 107 bit/sauditory channel up to 1,5 x 106 bit/stactile channel up to 0,4 x 106bit/s
hands alone (0,2 106 bit/s = 50% )olfactory channel up to 15 46 bit/sgustatory channel up to 13 bit/s
Conditions for errors:
•Flooding with stimuli on multiple perceptive channels•low SNR and high rate of incoming noise signals•intensity of stimuli near pain threshold•stimulus intensity below receptor threshold•Longer withdrawal of stimuli
Attention
ConcentrationVigilance , AlertnessAnticipation, Distribution of Attention
Aspecte of attention
Attention is the cognitive process of selectively concentrating onone aspect of the environment while ignoring other things. Attentionhas also been referred to as the allocation of processing resources

Attention and Situational awareness
1. Where am I? 4dimensional (space + time)2. What is going on? Dynamic situational parameters/ forces (sensory/
cognitive) actual psychophysiological state/
emotions/ selfperception3. What do I want? Adjusting the intended plan the current situation4. What do I have to do? Organisation of planned actions and theirexecution
Defining SA:
The perception of elements in theenvironment within a volume ofspace and time, the comprehensionof their meaning and the projectionof their status into the near future.
Attention and Situational AwarenessSATypes:
Level 1 Failure to correctly perceive•Data not available•Data hard to disriminate/detect•Failure to monitor/observe
•Misperception of data•Memory loss
Level 2 Failure to integrate/understand•Lack of or poor mental model•Use of incorrect mental model•Overreliance on default values
Level 3 Failure to project•Lack of or poor mental model•Overprojection of current trends
Attention and SituationalAwarenessAttentional Resources are limited!
Focused: Spend time and cognitive resources on a specific task
Divided: Devote time and resources (timesharing) to a number of different andsometimes conflicting sources of information (i.e. Scan, control inputs, pedals,Failure to integrate/understand, talk, hear etc.)

Maintenance/Ramp Error Data
2030% of engine inflight shutdownsand 50% of enginerelated flightdelays/cancellations are caused bymaintenance error (Boeing, 1997)
48,800 nonairworthy aircraft aredispatched per year as a result ofmaintenance error (Marx, 1998)
Ramp accidents cost $22.5 Billionannually (Ramp Safety, Vol. 11:3)
