“…Endsley (1995) showed that participants were able to retain SA for a multi-item display task for up to 5 min after an interruption during which no task changes occurred. Other research has shown that individuals are able to accurately locate the preinterruption positions of multiple display objects following short-term interruption (Gartenberg, Breslow, McCurry, & Trafton, 2013;Ratwani & Trafton, 2008) and can do so more accurately than finding the new positions of displaced objects (Hunter & Parush, 2010).…”

“…According to the MFG theory, an interruption would lead to significant drops in situation awareness on the interrupted task and will induce situation awareness recovery after the interruption (cf. Gartenberg et al, 2013). Hence, we expect a worsening of performance in conditions with interruption as compared to conditions without interruption.…”

“…SAR is the process of restoring situation awareness (SA) after it has been reduced (Gartenberg et al, 2013. Gartenberg et al (2013 describe this process with the example of a task where multiple objects, for example unmanned aerial vehicles, have to be monitored simultaneously.…”

“…This implies that the operator may be unaware of an unfolding emergency situation that requires operator involvement. When the need for operator involvement on the supervisory tasks becomes apparent, the operator must reassess the environment and system state to recover situation and system awareness, a process which Gartenberg et al (2013) have called Situation Awareness Recovery (SAR).…”

a b s t r a c tDynamic Positioning (DP) is a computer-controlled process to automatically keep a floating vessel at a specific position or to follow a pre-defined path (tracking) by using its own propellers and thrusters. The human supervisory controller has no direct need to constantly know what the status is of all parts of the automation and the system it is controlling, because the highly automated DPS is controlling all components itself. Only after a failure arises, the operator needs to take over manual control and take appropriate action(s) to prevent the failure from harming the operation. As the supervisory controller may be out of the loop, swiftly taking over control may be problematic when failures arise. The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether automation of change detection enables human operators with low awareness of the automation and the system it is controlling to quickly recover awareness in emergency take-over situations. A 2 by 2 within subjects experiment was conducted using a DP simulation (n ¼ 22). Within-subjects factors were support (Yes, No) and interruption (Yes, No). Results showed that change detection support helps in the process of recovering situation awareness after it has been reduced, due to an interruption of the primary task of overseeing the automation. Interestingly, support was not beneficial to the participants in all conditions. In non-interrupted conditions the support unexpectedly resulted in higher workload, raising questions whether supervisory controllers should be supported continuously or only when it is required. Relevance to industry: The results show that change detection support has potential value in operational maritime environments, especially in situations where the DP operator has low situation awareness. Future research should investigate whether adaptive aiding could alleviate some of the negative effects of non-adaptive operator support in maritime environments.

“…If an increased workload underlies the degraded SA, the system could adaptively respond by dynamically reallocating task demands, freeing up cognitive resources, and thereby allowing the cognitive processes necessary for SA recovery to begin [41]. Alternatively, if a low workload is identified, the response might be to increase task demands as boredom and low workload exacerbate degradation of SA [42].…”

Abstract-Herein we delineate the relationship between poor joint human automation interaction (HAI) system performance and situation awareness (SA) focusing on the effect of system design. Degraded SA is one reason that human users make poor interaction decisions that cause joint system performance to suffer. One key reason for degraded SA is the hierarchical design where the human user is at the apex of the command hierarchy. Within this structure the human user is not able to be fully integrated into the system, which can lead to 'out of the loop' performance issues. We propose that SA could be measured in real time by leveraging psychophysiological methods often used in cognitive neuroscience research. We then discuss a potential framework that could not only identify degraded SA in real time, but could mitigate these degradations. Such a framework would be successful because it would genuinely integrate the human user into the system, essentially closing the loop that underlies joint system failures.

Abstract: We interpret these findings in terms of the memory-for-goals model, which suggests that SAR consists of increased scanning in order to compensate for decay, and previously viewed cues act as associative primes that reactivate memory traces of goals and plans.
