Subject matter experts

Area of Science:

  • Human-computer interaction
  • Cognitive psychology
  • Human factors engineering

Background:

  • Operator workload assessments often rely on subjective estimates from subject matter experts (SMEs).
  • These estimates are frequently interpreted using models that divide human capabilities into discrete resources.
  • SMEs rate tasks based on their perceived impact on these resources, assuming accurate self-assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the validity of subjective workload ratings derived from multiple resource theory.
  • To assess the utility of SME predictions in estimating resource consumption for future aircraft missions.

Main Methods:

  • Collected subjective workload ratings from two experienced pilots for 225 tasks using a multiple resource theory framework.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analyzed the collected data using a factor analytic approach.

    • Main Results:

    • Factor analysis revealed high face validity and inter-rater reliability for the subjective ratings.
    • However, the ratings showed limited validity regarding the actual effort required for specific resource channels, especially cognitive ones.
    • Four independent factors explained the intercorrelations among the seven resource channels for each pilot, with three factors being consistent across both pilots.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings challenge the effectiveness of the multiple resource framework for predictive workload assessments.
    • The study suggests that subjective SME ratings may not accurately reflect the true cognitive and physical demands of tasks.
