An Exploratory Study of Contextual Control Modes in Teamwork
Kannally C, Paladugu A, Nijveldt R, McSherry L and IJtsma M
This study investigated the relationship between human team member contextual control and team performance under time constraints.
Physiological Predictors of Operator Performance: The Role of Mental Effort and Its Link to Task Performance
Pütz S, Mertens A, Chuang LL and Nitsch V
The present study investigated how pupil size and heart rate variability (HRV) can contribute to the prediction of operator performance. We illustrate how focusing on mental effort as the conceptual link between physiological measures and task performance can align relevant empirical findings across research domains.
