Insight into these effects are particularly important as automation evolves from intelligent task support towards an intelligent teammate. To enable effective human...

As ambiguous information about the events becomes available, decision-makers are often tempted to quickly develop a particular story to explain the observed events. As the accident evolves, decision-makers can fail to revise...
