Evaluating Dynamic ‘Landing Gear Unsafe’ Auditory Alerts as a Defense Against Habituation
<p>Auditory alerts are widely used in today's daily routine. Unlike their visual counterparts, auditory alerts can be used to capture someone's attention, even though the user is not within visual range. As beneficial as auditory alerts can be, it is possible to become habituated to alerts. …

Improving planning and prospective memory in a virtual reality setting: investigating the use of periodic auditory alerts in conjunction with goal management training on a complex virtual reality task in individuals with acquired brain injury
… research has suggested that using non-contingent auditory alerts may facilitate a ‘goal-review’ process and improve performance on tasks that make demands on executive functions. This study investigated whether combining alerts with a brief goal management training (GMT) programme would improve …

Integrating Imperfect Automated Aids Into a Multi -Task Situations
… the informativeness (three vs. two stage alerts), the modality, and the threshold of the alert, affected both conflict detection and concurrent task performance. Automated aids with higher false alarm rates resulted in poorer concurrent task performance, as evidenced by higher tracking …

A Field Experiment to Test the Effects of Automated Feedback and Monetary Incentive on Speeding Behavior
… feedback system, which provided visual and auditory alerts when they sped five or more mph over the limit. Twenty of these 40 individuals experienced a monetary incentive system during their second and third weeks of driving. Ten participants were in a control group that experienced neither …

Modeling operator performance in low task load supervisory domains
… a design intervention in the form of cyclical auditory alerts was implemented to help operators sustain directed attention during low task load environments. The results indicate that the model is able to accurately predict operators' workload. Also, the model predicts operators' performance …

The Bridging Technique: Crossing Over the Modality Shifting Effect
… an appropriate sensory modality (e.g., visual or auditory) (Sarter, 2006). For example, if an alarm is presented during a mission in a modality already highly taxed or overloaded, this can result in increased response time (RT), thereby decreasing operator performance (Wickens, 1976). To overcome …
