Overview
Work has gone from being predominantly manual (work with the body) to being predominantly cognitive (work with the mind). Cognitive tasks are everywhere; a work design is effectively cognitive task design. This handbook acts as a single source for theories, models and methods needed for cognitive task design, written by leading experts from around the world. It covers such topics as hierarchical task design; adaptive automation; cognitive task modelling for system design; and applied cognitive work studies.
