HFESTG - Cognitive Engineering and decision making

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas?

One of those is The Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making Technical Group

This Technical Group is focused on the study and applicatoin of human decision making and cognition to the design and development of systems and training programs in a variety of domains.


For example, examining how characteristics of human decision making and cognition are impacted in indivudal contexts and in conjunction with other individualsor with intelligent systems.


They assess differneces between Experienced and inexperienced decision makers and how they adapt to task settings involvping ill-structured problems, dynamic environments, as well ascomplex systems


Lastly the group is intereseted in understanding how Technologies can be developed for assisting, modifying or supplanting human decision making

Profile picture for Nick Roome

Nick Roome

Nick is currently a Senior UX Researcher at Turvo in the Pacific Northwest, focused on developing innovative solutions and optimizing human performance for SaaS based supply chain logistics programs. Alongside colleague and friends, Blake Arnsdorff and Barry Kirby, Nick hosts and produces Human Factors Cast, a weekly podcast that investigates the sciences of human factors, psychology, engineering, biomechanics, industrial design, physiology and anthropometry and how it affects our interaction with technology. Nick’s other areas of interest include, but are not limited to virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, systems engineering, and artificially intelligent systems.

Nick Started Human Factors Cast in early 2016 as a side-project. He believed that the way Human Factors concepts were being communicated is broken and saw a way to fix it. After getting initial traction, Nick moved to work on the Human Factors Cast Digital Media Lab and began assembling a multi-disciplinary team to test out new concepts in Human Factors communication.
