Thornton, Coleen, Braun, Curt, Bowers, Clint and Morgan, Jr. Ben B. (1992): Automation Effects in the Cockpit: A Low-Fidelity Investigation. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 30-34.

“The effects of automation and task difficulty on flight performance, subjective and objective workload, and a problem solving task were investigated in a low fidelity flight simulator. Forty-eight, two-person crews flew two forty-five minute scenarios that required the crew to select and obtain relief supplies for delivery to a disaster site. Two levels of automation (i.e., presence or absence of an autopilot) and two levels of task difficulty (i.e., presence or absence of wind and turbulence) were combined to yield a 2 x 2 design. Twenty-four crews performed in both levels of automation and one level of task difficulty. Results indicated that although crews in the automated condition reported less subjective workload, only one of the three measures of flight performance was affected by automation. In contrast, objective workload, as measured by performance of a secondary task, was increased for the pilot in the automated condition. In addition, under high task difficulty, problem solving was worse in the automated condition than in the manual condition. The results are discussed in terms of their support of earlier hypothesized effects of automation in the cockpit.”

Bowers, Clint A. and Braun, Curt (1992): A Low Fidelity Paradigm for Research in Aircrew Coordination Performance. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. p. 1060.

“The ability for groups of individuals to work together as a team is quickly becoming a prerequisite in the modern workplace. Surprisingly, however, this increased demand for effective teams has not been accompanied by improved technology for the study of teamwork. One factor that complicates the issue in the study of teams is the level of fidelity required to perform useful research on team processes and performance. These issues have previously been assumed to require high fidelity, full-mission simulators. However, it has recently been suggested that inexpensive low fidelity simulations might be sufficient for this purpose (Driskell&Salas, in press). Therefore, the present demonstration presents an application for low fidelity simulation that appears to be useful as a tool for aircrew coordination research.”
