Features:
- Presents new SSAT data
- Offers, for the first time, comparative analysis of studying efficiency and productivity from the perspective of ergonomics, psychology, and economics
- Includes examples of evaluation of economic efficiency of ergonomic innovations
- Provides advanced self-regulative models of activity and of all cognitive processes that describe strategies of task performance
- Introduces a new efficient method of morphological and analytical quantitative analysis
- Discusses new methods of evaluation of complexity and reliability of highly variable computerized and computer-based tasks
Work Activity Studies Within the Framework of Ergonomics, Psychology, and Economics presents a comprehensive unified psychological theory that can be utilized as a general approach to the study of human activity not only for ergonomists and psychologists, but also for economists that study the efficiency of human performance.
