Kuperman, Gilbert G., Wilson, Denise L. and Crawford, Robyn (1989): Discriminability of Color Symbols through PLZT Goggles. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1378-1382.

“A symbol recognition experiment was conducted, with and without PLZT goggles to determine how far apart in color space symbol and background colors must be in order for the symbols to be reliably recognized. Spectral transmittance data showed a reduction of approximately 78 percent in display luminances to the operator wearing PLZT goggles, which was almost uniform across the visual spectrum. All chromaticities, over the entire CRT display gamut, were found to shift markedly toward green when measured through the goggles. This shift was as much as 0.064 1976 UCS units (for fully saturated blue). No criterion shift (beta) was found between the goggle/no goggle conditions. The measure of sensitivity (d') was significantly reduced (from 3.788, without goggles, to 2.910, while wearing the goggles. The probability of hits also decreased significantly (from 0.945 to 0.863) and the probability of false alarms increased significantly (from 0.044 to 0.109) between the no goggle and PLZT cases (all p < 0.05). The effects of the PLZT goggles on the symbol recognition task were lessened as the symbol-to-background chromaticity distance was increased. These results support the development of specialized color display symbol sets in workplaces where PLZT flashblindness protection is worn by the operator.”

Kuperman, Gilbert G. and Wilson, Denise L. (1988): The Design of a Tactical Situation Display. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 111-115.

“This research and development effort was directed to the design and proof-of-concept demonstration of a dynamic tactical situation display (TSD) applicable to an advanced conceptual bomber crew system. The TSD provides a primary source of mission pacing and situational awareness information in the Strategic Avionics Battle-Management Evaluation of the Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory. Four levels of situational awareness information are supported by SABER: (1) conventional paper products, (2) digitized (softcopy) versions of these hardcopy materials, (3) dynamic graphic representation of horizontal situation, and (4) horizontal situation display with digital terrain elevation and cultural feature underlay. The TSD described in this paper is being applied in the SABER simulation facility to support research directed to the optimization of the bomber crew system in the context of future mission requirements.”

Kuperman, Gilbert G. and Perez, William A. (1988): A Frame-Based Mission Decomposition Model. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 135-139.

“This paper presents the results of a mathematical modeling (computer simulation) effort that applied frame-based, data processing constructs, originally developed and applied in the context of artificial intelligence, to the decomposition of a complex Air Force bomber mission. The model was written in LISP to facilitate the development of a concurrent processing environment in which to simulate the simultaneous occurrence of multiple external events/crew tasks. The model simulated a four hour segment of a strategic mission scenario. Two distinct crew complements, four-man and two-man, together with their respective levels of aircraft avionics automation, were represented during a proof-of-concept demonstration. The model provided measures of resource (crew and "black box") utilization, presumed to correlate to "workload," at different levels of specificity. These measures were used to identify crew task "choke-points" (large queue sizes, task interrupts) and to evaluate the effects of automation.”

Wilson, Denise L., Kuperman, Gilbert G., Crawford, Robyn L. and Perez, William A. (1988): Artificial Intelligence (AI) System Interface Attributes: Survey and Analyses. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1036-1040.

“This study represents a first phase in the design of a human factors tool for artificial intelligence (AI) system assessment. Desirable attributes of AI interfaces were identified as a result of a review of the literature. A questionnaire was developed where explicit definitions were presented for 17 selected attributes. Nineteen AI system developers rated the attributes under four different context conditions: (1) no context (i.e., general application); (2) a bomber crew system; (3) a command and control station; and (4) an intelligence analyst position. Examination of the ratings showed that attributes pertaining to tasks which impose a high level of time stress received the highest ratings of importance. The ratings data were subjected to Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) analyses where the following dimensions were determined: (1) tasks performed principally by the system versus tasks requiring system-human communication; and (2) system attributes that principally require algorithmic interpretation versus those that require a high level of AI capabilities.”

Wilson, Denise L., Kuperman, Gilbert G., Ramsey, Eric G. and Perez, William A. (1988): A Signal Detection Paradigm for Color Display Specification. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1329-1333.

“The objective of this research was to demonstrate the validity of signal detection theory to the assessment (visual discrimination) of displayed color symbology. The area of application of the research results is in the design specification of color coded symbology to be overlayed on moving map, situational awareness displays. A symbol detection experiment was designed to determine how far apart, in CIE/UCS color space, symbol and background color must be in order for observers to detect that a symbol is present against the background. Six trained observers viewed a number of systematically varied symbol/background color combinations and were required to make one of six responses along a continuum from "symbol definitely present" to "symbol definitely not present". The analyses of the d' and Beta signal detection measures yielded different patterns of results, suggesting that this paradigm was successful in separating the cognitive and sensory/perceptual factors associated with color-on-color target detection. In addition, the shape of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves indicated that the assumptions underlying the signal detection paradigm were met.”
