In joint human-automation systems, operators must often supervise the automation and adapt their reliance on it based on judgments of its context-specific reliability. For this to occur, operators should trust the automation appropriately. In the design of a water monitoring decision aid's display, Ecological Interface Design was used to satisfy design guidelines for supporting appropriate trust. Design focused upon a visualization that made the aid's use of the DempsterShafer theory directly perceptible. The display was evaluated using a signal detection theorybased approach that measured reliance on automation. Results indicated that the ecological display yielded less appropriate reliance and poorer performance than a conventional display for a highly reliable decision aid. However, the experimental task prevented participants from adapting to the aid's context-specific reliabilities, reducing the validity of the findings. A subsequent study is proposed to further study the effects of ecological displays on automation reliance.iii
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
