Knowledge of results (KR) training improved vigilance by reducing false alarms but did not improve signal detection. New metrics, positive and negative predictive power (PPP and NPP), offer a more complete assessment of vigilance training effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Human Factors
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Signal Detection Theory

Background:

  • Vigilance training is crucial for monitoring tasks.
  • Knowledge of results (KR) is commonly used but its scheduling effects are understudied.
  • Traditional metrics like hits and false alarms are insufficient for evaluating training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of continuous and partial KR on vigilance accuracy.
  • To introduce and utilize positive and negative predictive power (PPP and NPP) for assessing vigilance training effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Examined the effects of continuous KR, partial KR, and no-KR control conditions.
  • Applied signal detection theory (SDT) and diagnosticity measures, including PPP and NPP.

Main Results:

  • KR led to conservative responding without improving sensitivity.
  • Both continuous and partial KR enhanced PPP.
  • KR selectively impaired NPP.

Conclusions:

  • KR presents a trade-off between reducing misses and false alarms.
  • SDT combined with PPP/NPP provides a comprehensive evaluation of vigilance performance.
  • PPP and NPP are valuable diagnostic tools for the human factors community.
