2. INFORMATION PROCESSING MODELS

4. Selective attention

5. Change blindness
Inattentional blindness

6. perception

7. Three Perceptual Processes
Bottom-up feature analysis
Unitization
Top-down processing
Turn the machine off when the red light on!!

8. Human Factors Guidelines
Maximize bottom-up processing
Maximize automaticity and unitization
Maximize top-down processing when bottom-up processing may be poor, and when unitization may be missing

9. WORKING MEMORY

10. A Model of Working Memory
Limits of Working Memory
Capacity
Time
Confusability and Similarity
Attention and Similarity

11. HF Implications of WM Limits
Minimize working memory load
Provide visual echoes
Provide placeholders for sequential tasks
Exploit chunking
Minimize confusability
Avoid unnecessary zeros in codes to be remembered
Consider WM limits in instructions

12. LONG-TERM MEMORY

13. Basic Mechanisms
Strength
Associations
WM and LTM
Forgetting

14. Organization of Info in LTM
Semantic Network
Schemas and Scripts
Mental Models
Cognitive Maps

15. LTM Implications for Design
Encourage regular use of information to increase frequency and recency
Encourage active verbalization or reproduction of information to be recalled
Standardize
Use memory aids
Carefully design info to be remembered
Design to support development of correct mental models
