- Two paper collections spring to mind that you should find to be of help:
-
- L P Goodstein, H B Anderson, S E Olsen (1988) Tasks, errors and mental models,
- Taylor & Francis
-
- M Gardener & B Christie (1987) Applying cognitive psychology to user-interface
- design, John Whiley & Sons.
-
- These do not deal directly with aviation issues the first deals with operators
- in nuclear power plants, the second with office systems.
-
- For an example of Applied Psychology at work in aviation see:
-
- Civil Aviation Authority paper 82017 Guidelines for Auditory Warning Systems
- on Civil Aircraft. This was prepared by Roy Patterson of the MRC Applied
- Psychology Unit, 15 Chaucer Road, Cambridge, England.
-
- This was published in 1982 I don't doubt that there are more recent
- publications for which he will be only too happy to provide reprints or
- reference locations.
