Analyzing the effects of human performance under stress
In order to analyze the effects of stress on human performance, we examined baseball players because of the large body of data and many measures of performance available. Clutch hitting is examined because a baseball player batting in a clutch situation is analogous to a person who is performing in …

Validation of a Task Network Human Performance Model of Driving
Human performance modeling (HPM) is often used to investigate systems during all phases of development. HPM was used to investigate function allocation in crews for future combat vehicles. The tasks required by the operators centered around three primary functions, commanding, gunning, and driving. …
