“ It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them. ”

Swezey, Robert W. (1993): Considerations in the Application of Complexity Theory-Based Measures of Individual Performance to Team and Organizational Tasks. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 1176-1180.

“The development of techniques for measuring complex task performance continues to be a problem area both in government and industrial contexts. This problem becomes even more critical as emphasis moves from individual, to group and/or team performance. This paper suggests a variety of measurement techniques that have been applied to the assessment of individual complex performance, and comments on the use of these (and similar) techniques with respect to the measurement of team performance. The measures are derived from the study of "Complexity Theory" (cf. Streufert and Swezey, 1986), and include consideration of both strategic and general planning activity, as well as the diversity of action required in complex team performance situations.”

Llaneras, Robert E., Swezey, Robert W. and Allen, John A. (1989): Motion as an Instructional Feature in Maintenance Training. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1305-1309.

“This paper draws upon both an extensive review of the literature, and a series of experiments manipulating motion-based (videotaped) versus static (35-mm slide) presentations of instructional material across a variety of instructional conditions. Performance measures in the experiments included both hands-on tasks and conceptual knowledge tests. Results indicated that electromechanical maintenance performance did not differ significantly between statically and dynamically trained groups across a variety of types and complexities of electromechanical maintenance tasks and instructional strategy conditions.”

Swezey, Robert W. and Salas, Eduardo (1987): Development of Instructional Design Guidelines for Team Training Devices. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 97-101.

“Both the research data base and practical experience, indicate that engineers involved in the design and development of team training devices either have inadequate access to, or for other reasons do not typically use, human factors and instructional design principles. This paper discusses a project whose purpose is to: (1) identify team processes and characteristics which may be employed in the design of team training devices, (2) state this information in guideline form, and (3) begin the development of a taxonomy of team training design characteristics which may be used to organize the guidelines.”

1983

Davis, Elaine G. and Swezey, Robert W. (1983): Human Factors Guidelines in Computer Graphics: A Case Study. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 18 (2) pp. 113-133.

“This paper presents, in the form of a case study, guidelines on relevant human factors considerations for use in designing a computer graphics system. Although the guidelines presented here are not considered to be exhaustive, and were developed to apply to a specific system, many of the issues addressed may be of considerable general interest in such situations. Both guidelines extracted from the literature and authors' design observations are presented for each of six principal system components addressed. These components are: the graphics display (color CRT monitor); the man-computer dialogue used for interactive communication (menu selection dialogue); the graphics tablet; an alphanumeric support display (black-and-white CRT monitor); an alphanumeric keyboard for inputing data into the support CRT; and the workspace within which these components are located. This study points out areas requiring further research and experimentation towards the development of man-computer interface guidelines.”
