Control Theory for Humans

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This long-awaited book provides a welcome--even essential--addition to every human factors professional's bookshelf....Indeed, the text makes a cogent case for the study and application of control theory in numerous facets of the human factors discipline....The two attributes that best describe the book are clarity and comprehensiveness. It is quite evident that the authors have succeeded in reaching their self-expressed goal for this work; that is, making the control theory accessible to a broad audience."
-Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science

"Throughout, one finds insightful commentary on applications of control theory to systems design and cognitive science research. If the value of a book comes from learning something new and fueling the imagination, this one should be required reading."
-Ergonomics in Design

"The text provides a solid introduction to the subject of manual control. Perhaps more importantly, the authors attempt to integrate control-theoretic descriptions with those derived from the field of experimental psychology. In doing so, they have provided a distinct service to the community of students and researchers working in the field of human/machine interaction. The text would be of definite value and interest to students in a wide variety of engineering disciplines."
