Make no mistake, it's a worthwhile read,
By
This review is from: Human Error: Cause, Prediction, and Reduction (Applied Psychology Series) (Hardcover)
This is a quick read (135 small pages), but very much worthwhile for anyone who is also reading, or about to read, the 'classics' on Human Error (e.g. James Reason). The book is a clear concise analysis and synthesis of 'The Conference on the Nature and Source of Human Error' in 1983, which included Reason and Sanders and Norman and other names you'll find highly cited in the academic literature. The beauty of this book is its scope and clarity, it really sets the applied psychology human error scene in an unbiased way and it really helps connect the ideas you'll find in the various individual books and papers together into a meaningful whole. Of course, this also means it does not have a lot of detail or loads of copious references.
Let me pick just some subjects from the table of contents to show you what's inside: Does error exist? What is a fault? About skill, learning & error. On the nature of taxonomies. Is there a theory of error? Psychological bases of error. A taxonomy of taxonomies. Problems of causality. System reliability and redundancy. |
