Human Factors in Simulation and Training

by Peter A. Hancock (Editor), Dennis A. Vincenzi (Editor), John A. Wise (Editor), Mustapha Mouloua (Editor)

Overview

Discussing issues and concepts relating to human factors in simulation, this book covers theory and application in fields such as space, ships, submarines, naval aviation, and commercial aviation. The authors develop and expand on concepts in simulator usage particularly specific characteristics and issues of simulation and their effect on the validity and functionality of simulators as a training device. The chapters contain in depth discussions of these particular characteristics and issues. They also incorporate theories pertaining to the motivational aspects of training, simulation of social events, and PC based simulation.
