“…High false alarm rates for automated error detection systems result in people slowing their response to, or simply ignoring warnings about potential errors (Parasuraman & Riley, 1997). For example, in a task monitoring the navigation, speed, power and cargo systems of a ship, if the system sets off frequent false error alarms, participants eventually ignore these warnings signals (Kerstholt & Passenier, 2000). With frequent false alarms, participants made fewer attempts to gain information needed to asses the problem, and were slower to access this information when they did.…”
