Fuld, Robert B. (2007): On system validity, quasi-experiments, and safety: a critique of NUREG/CR-6393. In International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management, 7 (3) pp. 367-381.

“Based on the methods of Cook and Campbell (1979), a quasi-experimental validation model for complex human–machine systems has been recommended for the final evaluation of nuclear power plant control rooms (O'Hara et al., 1997). This model-based approach to validating systems and assuring safety is critiqued in terms of experimental theory and engineering practice. It is concluded that the model may be inappropriate for industry as a general model of engineering validation. ”

2000

Edit | Del

Fuld, Robert B. (2000): The Fiction of Function Allocation, Revisited. In International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 52 (2) pp. 217-233.

“In the human factors engineering literature, the function allocation concept has been a source of debate for decades, particularly in terms of its practical utility for general design. The present article revisits some fundamental criticisms of the hypothesized function allocation process, reviews related experience in the US nuclear power industry and draws parallels to the histories of modern philosophy and science.”

1993

Liu, Yili, Fuld, Robert B. and Wickens, Christopher D. (1993): Monitoring Behavior in Manual and Automated Scheduling Systems. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 39 (6) pp. 1015-1029.

“Human monitoring behavior in manual and automated scheduling systems is examined through an experiment that required the subjects to perform scheduling and monitoring tasks. The task required the assignment of a series of incoming customers to the shortest of three parallel service lines. The subject was either in charge of the customer assignment (Manual Mode) or was monitoring an automated system performing the same task (Automatic Mode). In both cases, the subjects were required to detect the nonoptimal assignments that they or the computer had made. The results showed better error detection performance and lower subjective workload in the automatic mode. The subjects in the manual mode were both biased against declaring their own assignment errors and less sensitive to their misassignments. Results are compared with previous findings of monitoring behavior in manual control systems, and are discussed in terms of human decision making, reliability, workload and system design.”

1992

Fuld, Robert B. and Harmon, Daryl L. (1992): Human Factors Integration for Large Scale Facility Designs. In: Hagen, Edward W. (ed.) Fifth Conference on Human Factors and Power Plants June 7-11, 1992, Monterey, California. pp. 16-18.

1987

Edit | Del

Fuld, Robert B., Liu, Yili and Wickens, Christopher D. (1987): The Impact of Automation on Error Detection: Some Results from a Visual Discrimination Task. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 156-160.

“A dynamic decision-making task was designed for a microcomputer that allowed subjects to operate in either a manual mode, or an automatic mode. Nine subjects performed in a repeated measures design that presented identical errors for detection in the two modes. Results showed that sensitivity was higher in the automatic mode; the manual mode elicited a conservative response bias. NASA bipolar rating scales presented a clear picture of higher workload in the manual mode.”
