Behavioral Theory of Timing and Poisson Processes
<p>The Behavioral Theory of Timing comes to us from Peter Killeen and Gregor Fetterman in 1988. The general idea is that the reinforcement of behaviors generates knowledge of the average amount of time between reinforcement. This knowledge is what sets our internal clock, which then tells us when to perform the behavior. The transitions between behaviors are considered a Poisson Process. </p><p>A Poisson Process is a probability concept that can be applied to many real-world situations. For something to qualify as a Poisson Process, events must be independent of each other, the average rate of events is constant, and two events cannot occur at the same time. For example, we can think of how often a website will go down in a given time period or how often customers will call a help center. </p><p><br></p><p>Back to our Behavioral Theory of Timing! This model of timing is a formalization of the concept that behavior is the mediator of temporal control, linking it to the behaviorist movement in psychology that began in the early 1900s. Like other theories of timing, the Behavioral Theory of Timing posits that we have a pacemaker-accumulator system, or that an oscillator of some type generates pulses that are summed by a hypothetical "accumulator." Variations in timing accuracy are explained as errors from the pacemaker or accumulator. </p><p>Be sure to check out our main show at our official website: <a href="https://www.humanfactorscast.media/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.humanfactorscast.media</a></p><p>Support us on these platforms to get access to the entire Human Factors Minute library:</p><ul><li>Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast</a></li><li>Buy us a coffee: <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hfactorspodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hfactorspodcast</a></li></ul><br/><p>Join us on Discord:<a href="https://go.humanfactorscast.media/Discord" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://go.humanfactorscast.media/Discord</a></p><p>Follow us:</p><ul><li>Human Factors Cast Merchandise Store: <a href="https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/Store/#!/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/Store/</a></li><li>Follow us on Twitch: <a href="https://twitch.tv/HumanFactorsCast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitch.tv/HumanFactorsCast</a></li><li>Follow us on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCast</a></li><li>Follow us on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscast</a></li><li>Follow us on Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcast</a></li><li>Follow us on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCast</a></li></ul><br/><p>Resources:</p><ul><li>Music by Kevin McLeod: <a href="https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/</a></li></ul><br/><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Support us on Patreon for access to the full library of Human Factors Minute</strong></p><p>https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast</p>

Virtual Fit Multivariate Anthropometric Tool
<p>...and now for another Human Factors Minute! </p><p> The Virtual Fit Multivariate Anthropometric Tool was developed by HFES in collaboration with Penn State University to make multivariate accommodation estimates for North American users. </p><p>The tool works by calculating the percent of the population that would be able to be accommodated by a specific design, and it also allows specification based on gender proportion. It uses a multivariate analysis approach, which is based on the idea that designs can fail to fit users in multiple ways. A product may be designed too short for one person, or too narrow, but this failure to fit in both situations may not always be shared by the same person.</p><p><br></p><p>Designs may use multiple anthropometric measures. For example, a chair can be measured in several ways such as seat depth, seat width, and seat height. This tool allows designers and ergonomists to check their measurements for the highest percent accommodation that they intend.</p><p><br></p><p>When considering a real world use case of a standing workstation desk, the tool can be used by entering the dimensions for the product into The Virtual Fit spreadsheet. First, the estimated gender proportion of users is populated into the tool. Then, when the height of the surface desk is entered into the tool, the designer or ergonomist will be given a percent of the population that will be appropriately accommodated by this dimension.</p><p><br></p><p>You can use the Virtual Fit Tool for free via the Penn State website (<a href="https://www.openlab.psu.edu/tools/vft/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openlab.psu.edu/tools/vft/</a>).</p><p>This has been another Human Factors Minute!</p><p>Be sure to check out our main show at our official website: <a href="https://www.humanfactorscast.media/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.humanfactorscast.media</a></p><p>Support us on these platforms to get access to the entire Human Factors Minute library:</p><ul><li>Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast</a></li><li>Buy us a coffee: <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hfactorspodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hfactorspodcast</a></li></ul><br/><p>Join us on Discord:<a href="https://go.humanfactorscast.media/Discord" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://go.humanfactorscast.media/Discord</a></p><p>Follow us:</p><ul><li>Human Factors Cast Merchandise Store: <a href="https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/Store/#!/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/Store/</a></li><li>Follow us on Twitch: <a href="https://twitch.tv/HumanFactorsCast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitch.tv/HumanFactorsCast</a></li><li>Follow us on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCast</a></li><li>Follow us on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscast</a></li><li>Follow us on Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcast</a></li><li>Follow us on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCast</a></li></ul><br/><p>Resources:</p><ul><li>Music by Kevin McLeod: <a href="https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/</a></li></ul><br/><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Support us on Patreon for access to the full library of Human Factors Minute</strong></p><p>https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast</p>

HFETAG - Personnel
<p>Did you know the The Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group is composed of 19 sub Technical Advisory Groups?</p><p> One of those is the Personnel SubTAG.</p><p> The Personnel SubTAG addresses methods and technologies for selecting personnel for military occupations requiring complex human machine interactions as well as the screening of military personnel and the prediction of performance of personnel in military occupations. With an increasingly complex nature and high value of land , sea , air , and spaceborne military systems, there is a demand that highly capable soldiers, sailors, and airmen be tasked with their operation and care. </p><p> Among the list of topics of interest, are methods and technologies for quantitative assessment of individual differences for purposes of improving screening and prediction systems, performance based standards for screening of applicants to technical training and transition programs, defining performance criteria and methodologies for assessing performance in training and operational settings, and predicting performance in training and operation of complex systems.</p><p> To find out more about the The Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group, and its sub Technical Advisory Groups, visit the HFE TAG website (<a href="https://rt.cto.mil/ddre-rt/dd-rtl/hfetag/)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rt.cto.mil/ddre-rt/dd-rtl/hfetag/)</a>. </p><p>Be sure to check out our main show at our official website: <a href="https://www.humanfactorscast.media/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.humanfactorscast.media</a></p><p>Support us on these platforms to get access to the entire Human Factors Minute library:</p><ul><li>Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast</a></li><li>Buy us a coffee: <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hfactorspodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hfactorspodcast</a></li></ul><br/><p>Join us on Discord:<a href="https://go.humanfactorscast.media/Discord" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://go.humanfactorscast.media/Discord</a></p><p>Follow us:</p><ul><li>Human Factors Cast Merchandise Store: <a href="https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/Store/#!/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/Store/</a></li><li>Follow us on Twitch: <a href="https://twitch.tv/HumanFactorsCast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitch.tv/HumanFactorsCast</a></li><li>Follow us on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCast</a></li><li>Follow us on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscast</a></li><li>Follow us on Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcast</a></li><li>Follow us on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCast</a></li></ul><br/><p>Resources:</p><ul><li>Music by Kevin McLeod: <a href="https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/</a></li></ul><br/><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Support us on Patreon for access to the full library of Human Factors Minute</strong></p><p>https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast</p>
