4 2 discussion preventing cognitive overload
You have been selected as the human factors professional to work on a project with several other professionals of various disciplines. The project involves creating a production process that will include multiple dynamic tasks that will require flexible thinking and continually changing circumstances to evaluate. One of the concerns raised is that the human operator is likely to become overwhelmed or heavily loaded at times. You suggest to your colleagues several ways to approach this challenge in the process design. For instance, adaptive automation might be used or biometrics could monitor body responses that exceed control limits established (these are just to offer some of the possibilities). List and describe four approaches, from the human factors perspective, you believe could be embedded in the design to prevent cognitive overload and the accompanying potential for operator failure. Select one of these and explain why you believe it is the most prominent to consider and emphasize. Address these approaches with consideration for interactive effects from working and long-term memory. Provide at least one scholarly source to support your position. Post your observation using APA format with at least 500 words.
