“…However, there is a tendency to target different constructs in isolation, potentially underestimating the interactions that might be afforded by coalescing different aspects of features that comprise a complex system. This targeting of constructs is evident through a range of initiatives including experimental evaluations that assess the impact of changes to system design, evaluations of the impact of safety climate (Griffin and Neal, 2000; Hinckfuss et al, 2015), and organisational culture (Griffin and Curcuruto, 2015), and the development and evaluations of tools to assess and provide feedback on safety-related skills (Watkinson et al, 2018; Wiggins, 2012; Wiggins et al, 2019). The difficulty lies in establishing the nature of the relationships between variables and then isolating causal interactions that might impact performance.…”

New technologies are critical for sustained economic growth in contemporary organisations. However, the success of new technologies is dependent upon the relationship with users. Using a human factors framework, this article examines contemporary approaches to the assessment of human–technology interactions, highlighting the lack of integration and the need for a comprehensive approach that considers user contributions, including skills, capabilities and dispositions; technological contributions, including dependencies, reliability, complexity, and accuracy; and organisational contributions through training assessment, organisational climate and culture, and leadership. The successful integration of new technologies in the workplace is likely to lead to a more productive and enjoyable interaction for employees and customers, together with systems that are more resilient to the complexities and threats that are likely to emerge in the future work environment.

“…The different tasks have been individually and collectively associated with differences in performance at an operational level (Loveday et al, 2013b). Test-retest reliability (κ = 0.59, p < 0.05) has been demonstrated with power control operators at 6 months intervals (Loveday et al, 2014) and with audiologists at 18 months intervals (Watkinson et al, 2018).…”

The Role of Cue Utilization and Cognitive Load in the Recognition of Phishing Emails

Phishing emails represent a major threat to online information security. While the prevailing research is focused on users' susceptibility, few studies have considered the decision-making strategies that account for skilled detection. One relevant facet of decision-making is cue utilization, where users retrieve feature-event associations stored in long-term memory. High degrees of cue utilization help reduce the demands placed on working memory (i.e., cognitive load), and invariably improve decision performance (i.e., the information-reduction hypothesis in expert performance). The current study explored the effect of cue utilization and cognitive load when detecting phishing emails. A total of 50 undergraduate students completed: (1) a rail control task; (2) a phishing detection task; and (3) a survey of the cues used in detection. A cue utilization assessment battery (EXPERTise 2.0) then classified participants with either higher or lower cue utilization. As expected, higher cue utilization was associated with a greater likelihood of detecting phishing emails. However, variation in cognitive load had no effect on phishing detection, nor was there an interaction between cue utilization and cognitive load. Further, the findings revealed no significant difference in the types of cues used across cue utilization groups or performance levels. These findings have implications for our understanding of cognitive mechanisms that underpin the detection of phishing emails and the role of factors beyond the information-reduction hypothesis.

“…The test–retest reliability of each of the tasks that comprise EXPERTise 2.0 has been demonstrated in the context of audiology (Watkinson et al, 2018), while test–test reliability of classifications based on performance aggregated across the five tasks has been demonstrated in the context of transmission power control (Loveday et al, 2013a). The construct validity of the EXPERTise 2.0 classifications has been demonstrated in transmission and distribution power control (Loveday et al, 2013a; Sturman et al, 2019), software engineering (Loveday et al, 2014), and aviation (Wiggins et al, 2014), while predictive validity has been demonstrated in audiology (Watkinson et al, 2018).…”

“…Behavior associated with higher cue utilization has been associated with greater performance across a range of tasks, including radiology (Carrigan et al, 2020), paediatric intensive care (Loveday et al, 2013b), audiology (Watkinson, Bristow, Auton, McMahon, & Wiggins, 2018), and anesthesiology (Crane et al, 2018). However, it is also clear that cue utilization in one context can impact performance in another, related context.…”

Echocardiographers are highly specialised, skilled practitioners who play a critical role in medical imaging diagnostics. Yet, little is known about the cognitive and perceptual attributes of experts within this domain. This study was designed to examine the role of individual differences in expertise. Specifically, the contribution of a domain general visual expertise and pattern recognition, or cue utilization. Data were collected from 42 echocardiographers and 43 naïve participants. All of the participants competed the Novel Object Memory Test (NOMT). When compared, the echocardiographers were more accurate than the naïve participants. The echocardiographers also completed an echocardiography edition of the Expert Intensive Skills Evaluation 2.0, to establish behavioral indicators of context-related cue utilization. Those with relatively higher cue utilization performed more accurately on the NOMT, controlling for exposure. These results suggest that a general perceptual ability contributes to echocardiography potential and a sensitivity to cue-based learning may contribute to expertise.

Abstract: At an applied level, the outcomes provide the basis for a cue-based diagnostic assessment tool that can provide both trainee and practising audiologists with detailed feedback concerning their diagnostic skills.
