“…Music can also improve morale (Tayyari and Smith 1987). The attitude of most workers toward background music is favourable, although from 1% to 10% report that they are annoyed by it (Davies and Parasuraman 1982).…”

“…Background music has been shown to generally increase vigilance performance in laboratory and industrial studies (Craig 1985, Davies andParasuraman 1982). In a study on text entry into a computer, it was found that light classical music increased speed and overall productivity without decreasing accuracy (Tayyari and Smith 1987). Usually music produces performances superior to that found with noise of the same or lower intensity.…”

This paper reviews behavioural and cognitive methods for increasing alertness, enhancing performance, and decreasing long-term negative consequences due to shift work. Methods having the most potential for effective intervention include the short-term alerting effects of the optimal timing of work breaks, social activity during breaks, and sensory stimulation. Stress coping techniques and sleep hygiene information for workers and their families have the most potential for addressing longtcrm effects of shift work. Recommendations for areas requiring further investigation include the altering effects of bright light, fresh air, and cold water; performance enhanccmcnt through psychophysiological self-regulation and imagery; and the impact on performance of second jobs and family responsibilities.

“…Confusion between tasks when task switching is greater for sub-tasks which are similar when compared to subtasks which are dissimilar (Hirst and Kalmar, 1987), perhaps due to what is termed outcome conflict (Navon, 1984;Navon and Miller, 1987). Outcome conflict is complementary but different from the multiple resource model (Wickens et al, 1986), where different types of sensory input to an operator interfere less than similar input (Tayyari and Smith, 1987;Martin et al, 1988). Our system was particularly helpful for managing multiple similar tasks.…”

Objective: We aimed to elucidate how our domain-general cuing algorithm improved multitasking performance and changed behavioral strategies in human operators.Background: Though many gaze-control systems have been designed, previous realtime gaze-aware assistance systems were not both successful and domain-general. It is largely unknown what constitutes optimal search efficiency using the eyes, or ideal control using the mouse. It is unclear what the best coordinating strategies are between these two modalities. Our previously developed closed-loop multitasking aid drastically improved multitasking performance, though the behavioral mechanisms through which it acted were unknown. Methods:We performed in-depth analyses and generated novel eye tracking and mouse movement measures, to explore the complex effects of our helpful system on gaze and motor behavior.Results: Our overlay cuing algorithm improved control efficiency and reduced wellknown biases in search patterns. This system also reduced micromanaging behavior, with humans rationally relying more on imperfect automation in experimental assistance cue conditions. We showed that mouse and gaze were more independently specialized in the helpful cuing condition than in control conditions. Specifically, with our aid, the gaze performed more global movement, and the mouse performed more local clustered movement. Further, the gaze shifted toward search over processing with the helpful cuing system. We also illustrated a relationship between the mouse and the gaze, such that in these studies, "the hand was quicker than the eye." Conclusion:Overall, results suggested that our cuing system improved performance and reduced short-term working memory load on humans by delegating it to the computer in real time. Further, it reduced the number of required repeated decisions by an estimate of about one per second. It also enabled the gaze to specialize for improved visual search behavior, and the mouse to specialize for improved control.

“…However, these results vary from one individual to another and are different according to the task 31) . Be that as it may, the use of music has a double advantage as compared to noise: -first on performance, which are better with music than with noise, even at the same intensity; -then on morale as the attitude of most workers toward background music is favorable 38,39) .…”

A Critical Review of Techniques Aiming at Enhancing and Sustaining Worker's Alertness during the Night Shift

et al. 2004

Two types of methods based on a particular principle allow enhancing and sustaining workers' alertness all along their night work. The first one rather consists in arousing workers by exposing them to stimulant environment conditions (light or noise…) or by giving them natural or pharmacological reactivating substances (caffeine or amphetamines…) for example. The second principle consists in increasing workers' possibilities for resting and allowing them to have short sleep periods or Short Rest Periods (SRP) in an adapted area at the workplace. In order to use these techniques in real work situations, after a critical review taking into account both efficiency, advantages and disadvantages but also applicability and acceptability, the SRP technique stands out as the most efficient method as it has a certain number of advantages with regard to our initial objective.
