Hall, Daniel S., Shattuck, Lawrence G. and Bennett, Kevin B. (2010): Evaluation of an Ecological Interface Designed for Military Command and Control. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 54th Annual Meeting 2010. pp. 423-427.

Since the inception of the Force XXI Digitization program, the U.S. Army has fielded numerous systems attempting to use computational technologies to improve command and control of tactical operations. In reality, designers have inadequately considered both the role of the human and the constraints of this complicated work domain in the implementation of these systems. A prototype interface (RAPTOR) was developed to leverage powerful perception-action skills, thereby providing improved decision making and problem solving support. A laboratory experiment was conducted using a synthetic task environment. Sixteen US Army Officers participated in a mixed design experiment that involved two interfaces (RAPTOR and Baseline) and two scenarios (attack and counter insurgency). Dependent measures included situation awareness, decision making, and workload. The results indicate that the RAPTOR interface produced significantly better performance; they provide a strong validation of the theoretical framework (Cognitive Systems Engineering and Ecological Interface Design) and design principles (direct perception and direct manipulation), that guided its development. Applications of this study include specific interface design strategies for military command and control work domains.

Jones, Patricia M., Graves, Gaye L., Allard, Terry, Blackhurst, Jack, Fitts, David J., Piccione, Dino and Shattuck, Lawrence G. (2010): HUMAN SYSTEMS INTEGRATION IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 54th Annual Meeting 2010. pp. 2185-2187.

Human Systems Integration principles and methods can be used to help integrate people, technology, and organizations in an effective and efficient manner. Over the past decade, a wide range of tools, techniques, and technologies have been developed by federal agencies to achieve significant cost and performance benefits. In this discussion, we will explore trends in military human systems integration and learn about the critical role being played by human performance and effectiveness research. We will also examine case studies on the planning and design of future human space flight vehicles, the national air space system and the first nuclear reactors to be built in the United States in over 30 years. And with an eye toward sustaining the discipline's principles and methods, we'll take a look at educating and training the next generation of human systems integration practitioners.

Shattuck, Lawrence G., Miller, Nita Lewis and Kemmerer, Kacey E. (2009): Tactical Decision Making Under Conditions of Uncertainty: An Empirical Study. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 53rd Annual Meeting 2009. pp. 242-246.

Uncertainty is a fundamental characteristic of warfare. Military decision makers confront uncertainty when the data they encounter are incomplete (missing), ambiguous, or conflicting. This study examined how different categories of uncertainty (ambiguous/missing, conflicting, baseline) affect response time and type of decisions made in a low-fidelity tactical decision making task. Prior to the study, researchers elicited real-world tactical scenarios from veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom in which uncertainty was present. Nine scenarios were developed from the interviews and were given to 28 participants at the Command and General Staff College, FT Leavenworth, KS. Participants were asked to make a decision; their responses were recorded and analyzed. The results indicate that the category of uncertainty and scenario difficulty were significant factors in response time and type of decision made. These findings have the potential to improve human behavior modeling, tactical simulations, and representations of complex task environments.

Shattuck, Lawrence G. and Woods, David D. (1994): The Critical Incident Technique: Forty Years Later. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1080-1084.

This year marks the both anniversary of the publication of John Ranagan's paper entitled "The Critical Incident Technique" in Psychological Bulletin. In the years since its publication, much has happened in the field of human factors. The critical incident technique is still a common tool among human factors practitioners, though it has often been modified. With a new generation of practitioners in training, it is important to consider what they are learning about this tool. A survey conducted with future human factors professionals highlights some misconceptions concerning the critical incident technique. These misconceptions seem to originate from two sources: the treatment of the technique in human factors textbooks and handbooks, and the use of the technique in current research and application work. Some modern variations of the critical incident technique are discussed. The critical incident technique is viewed as an instance in which human factors specialists are shaping their tools to meet their needs. A set of principles is proposed to guide today's human factors practitioners in conducting cognitively oriented field research.
