The mismatch is an unrealistic cognitive demand that exceeds the human capability to reliably respond to that demand at the required performance. Demand situations often include increased time pressures and difficult environmental conditions. The book presents innovative solutions to reveal, prevent and mitigate these and many other cognitive-type errors in barriers and safety critical tasks. </a></p><p> </p><p>This title presents a new and comprehensive prototype design and lifecycle model specific to human dependent barriers and safety critical tasks. Designed to supplement current practice, the comprehensive model is fully underpinned by cognitive ergonomics and cognition science. To accompany the model, this book also presents a compelling case for why a new global consensus specific to human dependent barriers is needed. Both the model
