[a] when designing a control support system, is the designer trying to influence the task demand
load or the mental load? Explain your answere.
[b] when designing a display support system, is the designer trying to influence the task demand
load or the mental load? Explain your answere.
[c] any workload measurement technique needs to fullfill at least the requirements concerning
obtrusiveness, sensitivity, reliability and consistency. Briefly describe what these requirements
mean.

[a] explain the difference between latent and active errors.
[b] read the text in A03 paper on human error question and identify the slip/lapse and mistakes.
Classify them according to the Rasmussen levels of behaviour. Indicate whether these are latent or
active errors. Try to find atleast 4 errors.
[c] read the text in J04 paper on human error question and identify the slip/lapse and mistakes.
Classify them according to the Rasmussen levels of behaviour (if possible). Indicate whether these
are latent or active errors. Try to find atleast 5 errors.
[d] read the text in A04 paper on human error question and identify the slip/lapse and mistakes.
Classify them according to the Rasmussen levels of behaviour (if possible). Try to find atleast 5
errors.
[e] read the text in N04 paper on human error question and identify the slip/lapse and mistakes.
Classify them according to the Rasmussen levels of behaviour (if possible). Try to find atleast 4
errors.

ref: J04 A04 A15 ----8.5%

[d] describe how modern work environment is significantly different from out natural environment.
In your answere describe at least 3 difference and how those generally affect the interface design
problem.
[e] besides the ecological approach, designing a human machine interface can also be approached
from 2 other prespectives, each providing their own unique insights, benefits and pitfalls.
- what are these 2 other approaches called
- describe how do these approaches differ fudamentally from te ecological approach. In other words
what are the unique starting points of EID and 2 other approaches?
[f] in general, an interface is characterized by its content structure, and form. How are these 3 items
specified in the ecological approach to interface design? In other words, how does one find the
content, structure and form of an ecological interface?
[g] discuss both the benefits and pitfallls of EID regarding control efficiency.
