Estimating a Mental Workload Redline in a Simulated Air-to-Ground Combat Mission

Systematic review of measurement tools to assess surgeons' intraoperative cognitive workload

“…Specifically, as there are now several validated methods using objective and real‐time metrics, future research should investigate the cognitive load range that is associated with surgeons' performance impairment. This can be characterized as a danger zone or redline for overload, and, if associated with risk of patient harm, may be used as a reference for the development of mitigation strategies towards supporting the cognitive performance of surgeons.…”

Quantifying the impact of cross coverage on physician’s workload and performance in radiation oncology

“…There is a long-known relationship between workload and human performance. 19 Specifically, our study results suggest that finding, reviewing, and comprehending patient information during cross coverage significantly increases the workload and time to task completion. Thus, efforts should be made to enhance usability of human-interface interaction, and ways to organize and deliver the right information at the right time without unnecessary increases in workload during cross coverage (ie, develop information display consistencies, improve navigation, reduce search time, etc).…”

A defeasible reasoning framework for human mental workload representation and assessment

“…In the literature, the overall spectrum of MWL is often separated by two red lines, theoretical thresholds that indicate when MWL is too low or too high (Wierwille and Eggemeier 1993;Colle and Reid 2005). It turns out that in order to obtain a representative degree of truth from a set of premises of an argument, an aggregation strategy is needed.…”
