For this reason, a further analysis of this arrangement is necessary and worthwhile. Two research methods were adopted to duplicate earlier studies. One was the paper-pencil test in which subjects took three different questionnaire forms that used alphabetical, sign, and numerical code systems. The other method was computer simulation in which subjects took part in a performance test of four arrangements of con troll burner designs, and reaction time and error rate were measured. The results in- dicated the existence of a suggestive effect, which is a tendency by some stimuli- cues to induce a specific response unawares in subjects. This confounding variable must be controlled in the test tool design. Results also revealed a population stereotype in the controllburner linkage relationship that was different for Chinese subjects and for American subjects. The equivalence of research methods between the paper-pencil test and computer simulation was not completely assured.

  • Daniel Gopher
    HFES FELLOWS PROFILE Name: Daniel Gopher Email address: [email protected] Short biography: Dr. Daniel Gopher is an emeritus professor of Cognitive Psychology and Human Factors Engineering at Technion University. Over his 6 decades in academia, Dr. Gopher has affiliated with 11 academic departments including: Columbia University, Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, The Hebrew University, The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Monash University, University of Montpellier, Nanyang University, NASA-Ames Research Center, Scula Supperiore St. Anna in Italy, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, and Tel Aviv University. Prior to his career in academia, Dr. Gopher spent a combined 15 years with the Israel Defense Forces and Israel Air Force. Initially, he worked as a Senior Research officer in the Manpower Division of the Israel Defense Forces (1966-1968) and was promoted to acting head in 1968. In 1970, he transitioned to a role with the Institute of Aviation Medicine (1970-1975) and became head of Human Factors for the Israel Air Force in 1975. He served as a Senior Scientist with the Israel Airforce, holding this appointment until 1981. While he was with the military, Dr. Gopher pursued his masters (1968) and doctorate (1972) in Experimental Psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After graduating, he pursued a post- doc at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. His post-doctoral work focused on multivariate analyses, man-machine models, and flight training. In 1996, Dr. Gopher co-established the joint Technion-Haifa University Max Wertheimer Minerva Research Center for Cognitive Processes and Human Performance. He has also served as director of The Research Center for Work Safety and Human Engineering, an interdisciplinary center that involves more than 100 researchers across 7 laboratories and 5 Technion departments.

PERCRO Lab Scuola Superiore S.

In the previous days of computer technology, training environments were obtained by providing off- line and online information about athlete performance in the form of biofeed- back (Liebermann & Breazeal, 2007), or transfer from the video game training context to performance at the real task (Rosser et al., 2007). The recent improvement in visualization, motion capture, and computing power in general has paved the way for the development of simulation VE for training sensorimo- tor components of sports (Hasegawa et al., 2006; Bailenson et al., 2008; Bideau et al., 2010).

It is a joint Center that combines the activity of eight senior researchers from two institutions - the University of Haifa and the Technion, both located in Haifa, Israel. The research activity is conducted in laboratories that the two institutions allocated for the Center at its onset. Part of the joint German-Israeli research is also conducted in Germany. The administrative activity is centered at the University of Haifa, which houses the Center’s research coordinator. The first seven-year evaluation of the Center was in 2003. The members of the evaluation committee were Prof. Peter Alexander Frensch (chairman), Prof. Nelson Cowan, Prof. Randall W. Engle, Prof. Larry L. Jacoby, and Prof. Carlo Umiltá. The committee's report noted: "Given that some of the world's most important scientists in the areas of meta-cognition, attention, perception, and skill acquisition are members of the Max-Wertheimer Center, it is perhaps not surprising that the scientific impact of the Center has been outstanding. There is no doubt that the Center has been and continues to be a major international player and has been operating at an internationally visible level.
