Study Notes

Emotions

Defined as - A complex reaction pattern, with elements of experience, behavior, and physiology.
Three components: subjective experience, physiological response, behavioral or expressive response
Positive emotions are those associated with feeling good about oneself
Negative emotions are those that sap your energy and undermine your effectiveness

Emotional Design

Creates designs to evoke emotions that result in positive user experiences
Three levels of cognitive processing: Visceral, Behavioral, and Reflective
Visceral - gut reactions to or first impressions of design
Behavioral - users evaluate a design through their goals and its usability.
Reflective - users consciously judge design performance and benefits.

Pleasure Model (Patrick W. Jordan)

Focuses on pleasurable aspects of interactions with products
Based on the framework of Lionel Tiger - Four types of pleasure: Physio-pleasure, Socio-pleasure, Psycho-pleasure, and Ideo-pleasure
Physio-pleasure is related to bodily aspects and sensory experiences
Socio-pleasure relates to the enjoyment derived from relationships with others
Psycho-pleasure is associated with cognitive and emotional reactions
Ideo-pleasure is associated with personal values

Basic Model of Product Appraisal Process (Desmet)

Product appraisal depends on product attributes and judgment of design against a concern
Appraisal leads to emotion.

Kansei Engineering (KE)

"Kansei" is a Japanese word for sensitivity, feeling, emotion, intuition. aesthetic, senses etc...
Established by Mitsuo Nagamachi

Human Errors

Errors are failures in planned action to be completed as intended, or use of a wrong plan to achieve an aim.
Errors of execution - failure to execute plan correctly
Errors of planning - wrong plan is used to accomplish tasks.
Active failures - occur at the level of a frontline operator and are felt almost immediately
Latent Conditions - occur outside the direct control of the operator and cause a chain of events leading to errors
Latent conditions include distractions, interruptions, task complexity, lack of knowledge or resources, and distractions.

Cognitive Processing in Errors (J. Reason)

Three stages of cognitive processing for tasks: Planning, Storage, and Execution.
Errors at each stage are distinct:
- Slips - occur during the execution stage and are incorrect executions of planned actions
- Lapses - occur during the storage stage and are incorrect omissions of a stored, planned action
- Mistakes - occur during the planning stage and the plan is unsuitable for accomplishing the desired goal

Reducing Slips and Lapses

Make workers aware that slips and lapses happen
Use checklists to ensure that all actions have been completed
Include equipment setup, site layout, and work methods in procedures to ensure a logical sequence
Ensure checks are in place for complicated tasks
Minimize distractions and interruptions

Why Mistakes Occur

Doing too many things at the same time
Doing too many complex tasks at once
Time pressures

Factors that Contribute to Mistakes

Work environment - temperature, lighting, noise etc...
Extreme task demands - unusual workload, deadlines, or difficult tasks
Social issues - relationship conflicts, lack of support from supervisors or peers
Individual stressors - personal problems, financial issues
Equipment problems - faulty equipment, lack of resources
Organizational issues - poor communication, lack of training

Origins of Error - GEMS Model (Generic Error-Modeling System)

Attempts to understand the origins of human error by identifying three levels of processing:
- Skill-based: familiar and automatic procedural tasks
- Rule-based: involves pattern matching from a set of internal problem-solving rules
- Knowledge-based: involves reasoning from first principles

Addressing Human Error

Focus on error tolerance, not avoidance
Human error is inescapable
Human error is detectable

Building Robustness to Human Error

Discover and correct latent errors, human nature is to wait until an emergency before responding.
Increase system visibility by not hiding complexity behind automated mechanisms
Take errors into account in operator training by including error scenarios and promoting exploratory trial and error training.
Emphasize the positive side of errors - Learning from them.
Reduce opportunities for error by designing tasks to match human limits like working memory and problem-solving abilities.

Error Prevention Tools

Job Hazard Assessment/Pre-Job Brief: Identify and address existing and potential job hazards.
Self Checking (STAR): STOP - Is my attention focused.
Questioning Attitude: Stop, look, and listen. Gather information before acting.
Stop When Unsure: Stop and get clarification if things feel wrong.
Feedback and Reinforcement: People perform better when they receive encouragement and support from others.
