Description

A Unified Computational Model of How Humans Use Automated Advice . In modern critical workplaces (e.g., defence, cyber-security, aviation, manufacturing, health care, mining, oil/gas) humans are increasingly required to work with automated advice to make decisions. The project aims to produce a unified computational model that provides lawful explanations and quantitative predictions for how humans use automated advice, including in task contexts with increased risk of automation-use error. Project outcomes are expected to guide the design and evaluation of automated systems and inform work design and training. The project will provide training for early-career researchers and students, expanding Australia’s capability at the increasingly critical intersection of Human Factors and Mathematical Psychology.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 5204 - Cognitive and Computational Psychology. Lead: Prof Shayne Loft
