Cognitive ergonomics: it's all in the mind

Article Abstract:

Differences between classical and cognitive ergonomics are analyzed. It is argued that classical ergonomics embraces dualism, wherein the effects of work on the body is separated from the effects of work on the mind. On the other hand, cognitive ergonomics focuses on the effects of work on the mind and vice versa. The definitions of risk and human-computer interaction in classical and cognitive ergonomics are discussed.
