Title

Monitoring automation failures: Effects of age on performance and cognitive tradeoffs

Abstract

The effects of aging and its relationship to performance and cognitive tradeoffs in automated flight tasks were analyzed. The study involved 24 adults who performed a modified version of NASA's Multi-Attribute Task Battery. They were required to monitor an automated system task while performing a resource management and a tracking task manually. The performance on the system monitoring task was found to differ significantly as a function of age. The results indicate that the ability to perform simultaneous tasks may be allocated differently as a function of age and task load requirements.
