In the second of the two volumes researchers and specialists address human factors in job and product design and the basics of decision making and training and their application in such areas as aerospace and other transportation, human-computer interactions, process control, and training technology. Medical technology is considered from such perspectives as depth perception and indirect viewing in keyhole surgery, an analogy between anesthesiology and aviation, and the patient-monitoring system in intense care. A section on applied cognitive psychology includes discussions of the name Miller with or without the umlaut, and predicting transaction time for dual tasks using critical path. No index.
