...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 Perception and Performance Technical Group The Perception and Performance Technical Group’s primary purpose is to promote exchanging information about perception and its relation to human performance. As its name implies, PPTG encompasses all sensory/perceptual modalities, not just vision. Areas of concern include the nature, content, and quantification of sensory information and the context in which it is displayed; the physics and psychophysics of information display; perceptual and cognitive representation and interpretation of displayed information; and more. Because the perceptual processing of sensory information is relevant to so many aspects of human performance across modalities, the professional interests and activities of PPTG members are diverse. Some individuals conduct research on perceptual processes and the impact on performance of displaying information in specific sensory modalities, whereas others apply the results of this research to the design of information displays and supporting products.
