Human Performance, Limitation, and Error

Catalog description

This course examines the psychological and physiological performance capabilities of humans as related to human cognition. It also examines the limitations of that performance, both common and individual, and how these limitations are impacted by systemic variables such as the environments in which humans work and individual behavioral attributes. It then examines how human performance capabilities and limitations can collectively result in human error as well as examining the types and nature of those errors.
