"Cognitive ergonomics of information processing systems is a new field. This report outlines the current status of research, and describes the principal ergonomic problems posed by new information processing technology, as well as the methods used to solve them and the results obtained. The authors also suggest new research directions likely to further knowledge in this field. The report contains six chapters. The first two describe cognitive ergonomics in relation to other fields of scientific research, and give a general outline of the problems involved. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 in turn describe the three major aspects of person-computer interaction: the information processing system, the human user, and the task. The sixth chapter contains four recommendations for further research"--Summary.
