Applied and Systemic-Structural Activity Theory

<p>This book presents new data in Applied Activity Theory (AAT) and Systemic-Structural Activity Theory (SSAT) that can be used in the study of human performance. The SSAT is the high-level generality theory that offers standardized principles of the analyses of human activity. These principles can be utilized in theoretical and applied studies. This multi-contributed book offers a selection of works that will provide a holistic picture of the field. The new data can be utilized for the study of extremely complex human-machine and human-computer interaction systems and for evaluation of efficiency complexity and reliability of such systems at the design stage.</p><p></p><p>Features</p><p></p><ul> <br><br><p></p> <li>Shows examples of self-regulative models of various cognitive processes</li> <br><br><li>Illustrates a method of study of production process in the construction industry</li> <br><br><li>Includes topics on learning training and management</li> <br><br><li>Covers a new method of computer based automated support of decision making under risk and uncertainty</li> <br><br><li>Presents a new method of evaluation of probabilistic structure of tasks and the method of assessing reliability of human performance </li> <br><br> </ul>
