Abstract

The body of literature addressing human errors and their effect on system performance is listed and categorized. The following factors were considered in classifying the literature: (1) applicability-human performance prediction, performance analysis of man-machine system, man-machine reliability allocation, human-error data collection, or human-error overview, (2) system under consideration-human component only or both human and hardware and (3) type of task being performed-operational or maintenance work, continuous or discrete tasks, and full range of human behaviour or single functions like decision-making or signal detection
