Its design, particularly the mass and vertical position of attached combat items, may impact postural control during rifle shooting and thus marksmanship performance.Method: Thirty-two participants performed a simulated rifle shooting task on a force plate with a tactical vest on. Three independent variables were considered: load mass (4 levels), vertical load center-of-mass position (4 levels), and marksmanship posture (2 levels). The dependent variables were: 6 rifle marksmanship performance measures, 7 postural sway measures, and a perceived workload measure.Results: Heavier load mass significantly degraded rifle marksmanship performance, and increased postural sway and perceived workload. Marksmanship posture significantly affected rifle marksmanship performance and postural sway. The kneeling posture resulted in less postural sway and better marksmanship performance than the standing posture. Vertical load center-of-mass position affected only part of the marksmanship performance measures and did not affect the measures of postural sway and perceived workload.Conclusion: Reducing combat item mass on tactical vests and enhancing soldier postural control ability would improve rifle marksmanship and soldier lethality.Application: The study findings inform the development of future military tactical vests and rifle marksmanship training, highlighting the need for lightweight gear design and postural control training.","PeriodicalId":56333,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors","volume":" ","pages":"301-330"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142482053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these instances, driver SA is crucial for effective takeover decisions and subsequent actions. A comprehensive review of influential SA factors, SA components, and SA assessment methods will facilitate driving safety in conditionally AVs but is still lacking.Method: A systematic literature review was conducted.

The SDT classifies the world into binary states and hence oversimplifies the interaction observed in real-world scenarios. Allowing multi-class classification of the world reveals intriguing error patterns previously unexplored in prior literature.MethodThirty-five participants completed 60 trials of a simulated mental rotation task assisted by an AI with 70-80% reliability. Participants' trust in and dependence on the AI system and their performance were measured. By combining participants' initial performance and the AI aid's performance, five distinct patterns emerged. Mixed-effects models were built to examine the effects of different patterns on trust adjustment, performance, and reaction time.ResultsVarying error patterns from AI impacted performance, reaction times, and trust. Some AI errors provided false reassurance, misleading operators into believing their incorrect decisions were correct, worsening performance and trust. Paradoxically, some AI errors prompted safety checks and verifications, which, despite causing a moderate decrease in trust, ultimately enhanced overall performance.ConclusionThe findings demonstrate that the types of errors made by an AI system significantly affect human trust and performance, emphasizing the need to model the complicated human-AI interaction in real life.ApplicationThese insights can guide the development of AI systems that classify the state of the world into multiple classes, enabling the operators to make more informed and accurate decisions based on feedback.","PeriodicalId":56333,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors","volume":" ","pages":"187208251326795"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, evidence supporting this theory in dynamic environments, such as moving vehicles, is still lacking.MethodUsing an experimental approach replicating a naturalistic 15-min car ride, 56 participants were equipped with an in-ear sensor to measure the linear accelerations of the head. Participants reported their motion sickness severity at 3-min intervals during the experiment and once more post experimentation. Additionally, the UniPG numerical model was used to estimate motion sickness severity.ResultsThe study identified significant relationships between specific head movement patterns and motion sickness severity, even though the overall symptoms reported were mild. Nonlinear interactions were identified between the standard deviation (p = .032) and the skewness (p = .028) of longitudinal head acceleration, as well as for the skewness (p = .004) and kurtosis (p = .008) of lateral head acceleration. Predictions from the UniPG model correlated with subjective ratings for 67% of participants with some motion sickness symptoms.ConclusionHighly variable longitudinal movements appear more tolerable when lateral movements remain symmetric; however, when both variability and asymmetry in head movements are present together in a specific pattern, they may exacerbate motion sickness symptoms.ApplicationIncorporating motion sickness prediction models in vehicles, based on the measurement of head movements, might improve detection of the escalation of symptoms in car passengers.","PeriodicalId":56333,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors","volume":" ","pages":"187208251326683"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143652330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluated measures included muscle activity in left (LES)/right (RES) erector spinae and left (LBF)/right (RBF) biceps femoris muscles, endurance, and user perspectives. Temporal effects of fatigue were examined by categorizing muscle activity based on perceived exertion level with Borg scale.ResultsBSIE reduced low-back (LES, RES), and leg (LBF, RBF) mean amplitude by ∼ 18-24% and ∼10-17% respectively. Benefits of BSIE in low-back reduced by ∼11-15% at medium versus low fatigue. Overall, BSIE led to 50% more completed task cycles and was favorably rated by participants in reducing physical demands, most especially during sustained bending portion of the task cycles.ConclusionUsing BSIE in intermittent bending tasks can not only provide benefits in reducing muscle demands but can also delay effects of fatigue in low-back region and increase endurance by enabling wearers to perform more task cycles.ApplicationFindings from this study may be beneficial to practitioners for setting guidelines on implementation of BSIEs in industrial bending tasks.","PeriodicalId":56333,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors","volume":" ","pages":"187208251324036"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143626897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
