Nelson, William R. (1988): Functional Models of Complex Human Performance: Application to the Assessment of Pilot Performance. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 879-882.

“A method has been developed for formulating integrated models of complex human and machine performance. The functional models can be used to model human tasks, measure human performance, identify problem solving strategies, estimate human error probabilities, define training requirements, investigate accidents, and design decision aids for complex cognitive tasks. This paper summarizes the application of the functional modeling technique to the collection and analysis of data from an experiment designed to assess pilot performance while responding to malfunctions.”

Hahn, Heidi Ann, Nelson, William R. and Blackman, Harold S. (1988): Where To from Here? Future Applications of Mental Models of Complex Performance. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 883-884.

“The purpose of this paper is to raise issues for discussion regarding the applications of mental models in the study of complex performance. Applications for training, expert systems and decision aids, job selection, workstation design, and other complex environments are considered.”
