HFESTG - Human Performance Modeling

...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 Human Performance Modeling Technical Group . This technical group focuses on the development and application of predictive, reliable, and executable quantitative models of human performance. The TG is an outgrowth of the renewal of interest in the human factors community towards the development of engineering style approaches appropriate for problems in human factors. This movement has been centered on quantitative models. It considers the human, engaged in some goal-directed behavior, in the context of a specific task environment. This TG uses models that integrate perception, cognition, and action in a task context and will encompass all quantitative executable representations of human performance that are potentially useful in human factors research or application.

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.
