From page 296...
... In 1993 he received the Franklin Taylor award from Division 21 of the American Psychological Association and is a fellow of the association. He has also served on the National Research Council's Committee on Human Factors.
From page 297...
... His professional interests include experimental research on human reasoning and decision making, elicitation and representation of expert knowledge, training cognitive skills in individuals and teams, development of decision support systems, human-computer interface design, and methods for representing and manipulating uncertainty. His current work at CTI includes experimental research on airline pilot decision-making processes, training decision-making skills under time stress in the ship-based anti-air-warfare environment, training for more effective distributed team decision making in naval air strike warfare, design of interfaces to enhance human performance with automatic target recognition devices, and modeling and training situation-assessment skills of Army battlefield commanders.
From page 298...
... He has more than 35 years work experience in the human factors and safety fields, in both industry and government. Since joining NTSB in 1970, he has served in various supervisory and managerial positions, with special emphasis on human performance issues in flight operations and air traffic control.
From page 299...
... He was formerly senior principal psychologist at the Royal Air Force Institute of Aviation Medicine at Farnborough and human factors consultant to the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority. He has also worked for the International Civil Aviation Organization, NATO, Eurocontrol, the Federal Aviation Administration, and numerous other international and national agencies.
From page 300...
... Prior to joining the National Research Council in 1994, he held scientific, technical, and management positions in human factors psychology at IBM, RCA, General Electric, General Dynamics, and United Technologies corporations. He has also instructed courses in applied psychology and general psychology at several colleges.
From page 301...
... A licensed pilot, his research has been concerned with system evaluation, human error, computer-human interface design, and human performance assessment in complex operational systems, most often in the context of aviation. During the past 20 years, his research has addressed several human factors issues in air traffic control, including the potential impact of bilingual communications on instrument flight operations, the precipitating conditions for operational errors, and the human engineering specifications for an advanced workstation design.
From page 302...
... He was a principal investigator of five Spacelab missions, and served as an alternate payload specialist astronaut for the 1993 Spacelab life sciences flight of the space shuttle. He is a consultant to various industrial and government organizations and has served on the Committee on Human Factors, the Committee on the Space Station, the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board, and the Air Force Studies Board of the National Research Council.
