  • Verification and validation of a Work Domain Analysis with turing machine Task Analysis
    Applied Ergonomics, 2015
    Co-Authors: J. Rechard, Pascal Berruet, Thierry Morineau
    Abstract:

    While the use of Work Domain Analysis as a methodological framework in cognitive engineering is increasing rapidly, verification and validation of work domain models produced by this method are becoming a significant issue. In this article, we propose the use of a method based on Turing machine formalism named "Turing Machine Task Analysis" to verify and validate work domain models. The application of this method on two work domain analyses, one of car driving which is an "intentional" domain, and the other of a ship water system which is a "causal domain" showed the possibility of highlighting improvements needed by these models. More precisely, the step by step Analysis of a degraded Task scenario in each work domain model pointed out unsatisfactory aspects in the first modelling, like overspecification, underspecification, omission of work domain affordances, or unsuitable inclusion of objects in the work domain model.

  • verification and validation of a work domain Analysis with turing machine Task Analysis
    Proceedings of the 2014 Ergonomie et Informatique Avancée Conference - Design Ergonomie et IHM: quelle articulation pour la co-conception de l'interac, 2014
    Co-Authors: J. Rechard, Pascal Berruet, Alain Bignon, Thierry Morineau
    Abstract:

    Whereas the use of work domain Analysis as a methodological framework in cognitive engineering increases rapidly in frequency, verification and validation of work domain models produced by this method become yet a significant issue. In this article, we propose to use a method based on Turing machine formalism and named "Turing Machine Task Analysis" to verify and validate work domain models. The application of this method on a work domain Analysis, a ship fresh water system which is a "causal domain" showed the possibility to highlight improvements that are needed by this model. More precisely, the step by step Analysis of a degraded Task scenario on the work domain model pointed out unsatisfactory aspects in first modelling, like over specification, under specification, omission of work domain affordances, or unsuitable inclusion of properties in the work domain model.

  • turing machine as an ecological model for Task Analysis
    Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science, 2009
    Co-Authors: Thierry Morineau, Emmanuel Frenod, Caroline Blanche, Laurence Tobin
    Abstract:

    A new model for Task Analysis is presented based on the ecological approach initiated by cognitive work Analysis (CWA). This model aims to improve the implementation of the theoretical principles involved in the ecological approach of a work system. More precisely, under current CWA, Task Analysis uses Rasmussen's ladder. However, this approach fails to highlight the contextual constraints on the Task. This model is based on the Turing machine formalism and takes into account the variety of situations that can be experienced by an agent and especially degraded situations of work. Moreover, it can model the concept of affordance-specifying information. It is shown that this formalism can be applied to a prototypical Task, such as opening a door.

  • cognitive Task Analysis and interface design in a technical troubleshooting domain
    Knowledge Based Systems, 1993
    Co-Authors: Ls Steinberg, D H Gitomer
    Abstract:

    A model of the interface design process is proposed that uses two interdependent levels of cognitive Analysis: (a) study of the criterion Task through the Analysis of expert/novice differences, and (b) evaluation of the working user interface design through the application of practical interface Analysis methodology (the GOMS model). This dual Analysis is reviewed in the context of HYDRIVE, an intelligent tutoring system that has been designed to facilitate the development of aircraft hydraulics systems troubleshooting skills. Initial cognitive Task analyses identified critical troubleshooting skills and procedures. However, even with an initial cognitive Task Analysis, the GOMS Analysis resulted in significant and beneficial design changes.

  • A cognitive Task Analysis for dental hygiene.
    Journal of dental education, 2000
    Co-Authors: Cheryl A. Cameron, Phyllis L. Beemsterboer, Lynn Johnson, Robert J. Mislevy, Ls Steinberg, Fj Breyer
    Abstract:

    To be an effective assessment tool, a simulation-based examination must be able to evoke and interpret observable evidence about targeted knowledge, strategies, and skills in a manner that is logical and defensible. Dental Interactive Simulations Corporation's first assessment effort is the development of a scoring algorithm for a simulation-based dental hygiene initial licensure examination. The first phase in developing a scoring system is the completion of a cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) of the dental hygiene domain. In the first step of the CTA, a specifications map was generated to provide a framework of the Tasks and knowledge that are important to the practice of dental hygiene. Using this framework, broad classes of behaviors that would tend to distinguish along the dental hygiene expert-novice continuum were identified. Nine paper-based cases were then designed with the expectation that the solutions of expert, competent, and novice dental hygienists would differ. Interviews were conducted with thirty-one dental hygiene students/practitioners to capture solutions to the paper-based cases. Transcripts of the interviews were analyzed to identify performance features that distinguish among the interviewees on the basis of their expertise. These features were more detailed and empirically grounded than the originating broad classes and better serve to ground the design of a scoring system. The resulting performance features were collapsed into nine major categories: 1) gathering and using information, 2) formulating problems and investigating hypotheses, 3) communication and language, 4) scripting behavior, 5) ethics, 6) patient assessment, 7) treatment planning, 8) treatment, and 9) evaluation. The results of the CTA provide critical information for defining the necessary elements of a simulation-based dental hygiene examination.
