“…& Newman, 2014), software engineering (Loveday, Wiggins, & Searle, 2014), and paediatric intensive care (Loveday, Wiggins, Searle, Festa, & Schell, 2014). Differences in cue utilization also correspond to differences in cerebral blood oxygenation amongst electricity network controllers (Sturman, Wiggins, Auton, Loft, Helton, Westbrook, & Braithwaite, 2019) and patterns of eye movement while driving (Yuris et al, 2019). The predictive validity of the approach has been established amongst amongst audiologists (Watkinson, Bristow, Auton, McMahon & Wiggins, 2018), while the test-retest reliability has been determined in both electricity transmission (Loveday, Wiggins, Festa, Schell, & Twigg, 2013) and audiology (Watkinson et al, 2018).…”

“…Therefore, establishing the validity of assessments of cue utilization have required both the careful selection of appropriate stimuli and the selection of appropriate outcome or measured variables. The concurrent validity of the R-A-P-I-D approach has been established in a range of contexts, including electrical transmission (Loveday, Wiggins Harris, Smith, & O'Hare, 2013), driving (Yuris, Sturman, Auton, Giacon, & Wiggins, 2019), project management (Gacasan, Wiggins, and Searle, 2016), pilot decision-making (Wiggins, Azar, Hawken, Loveday. & Newman, 2014), software engineering (Loveday, Wiggins, & Searle, 2014), and paediatric intensive care (Loveday, Wiggins, Searle, Festa, & Schell, 2014).…”

The utilization of cues is a process that underpins a wide range of naturalistic models of decision-making, often differentiating the performance of experts and non-experts. However, the domain-specific and idiosyncratic nature of cue utilization means that the existence of cues in memory, together with their application, has been difficult to assess. This paper explains a valid and reliable approach to the assessment of cue utilization that accounts for idiosyncrasy and confirms the role of cues in facilitating performance amongst skilled practitioners. It also enables comparative analyses between operators, thereby facilitating a more robust process for the selection of subject-matter experts, assessments of gaps in performance that might be explained by differences in cue utilization, especially following the introduction of new technologies, the evaluation of training outcomes against baseline performance, and the identification of changes in cue utilization that might be associated with absences or other workplace demands.

“…In this general sense the introduction of more automated vehicles, is no different from offering new iPhones, Tablets, and other advanced forms of computational consumer systems which are designed but never exhaustively tested before deployment. The issue here is that these new technologies control a one-ton vehicle proceeding at 60 mph and glitches, faults, bugs, and errors are not merely frustrating, they can be fatal (and see Templeton, 2020). But is this same process not as true for other, equally safety-critical systems such as advanced fly-by-wire aircraft whose similar failure we have witnessed in recent months?…”

This work considers the future of driving in terms of both its short-and long-term horizons. It conjectures that human-controlled driving will follow in the footsteps of a wide swath of other, now either residual or abandoned human occupations. Pursuits that have preceded it into oblivion. In this way, driving will dwindle down into only a few niche locales wherein enthusiasts will still persist, much in the way that steam train hobbyists now continue their own aspirational inclinations. Of course, the value of any such prognostication is in direct proportion to the degree that information is conveyed, and prospective uncertainty reduced. In more colloquial terms: the devil is in the details of these coming transitions. It is anticipated that we will see a progressive transformation of the composition of on-road traffic that will be registered most immediately in the realm of professional transportation in which the imperative for optimization exceeds that in virtually all other user segments. The transition from manual control to full automation will be more punctate than gradualist in its evolutionary development. As performance optimization slowly exhausts the commercial sector, it will progressively transition more into the discretionary realm by dint of simple technology transfer alone. The hedonic dimension of everyday driving will be dispersed and pursued by progressively fewer individuals. The traveling window of generational expectation will soon mean that human driving will be largely "forgotten," as each sequential generation matures without this, still presently common experience. Indications of this stage of progress are beginning to be witnessed in the demographic profile of vehicle usage and ownership rates. The purpose of the exposition which follows is to consider and support each of these stated propositions.

“…This relationship was also predicted by an individual's relative cue utilization, where higher cue utilization was associated with smaller changes in cerebral oxygenation, therefore requiring less cognitive resources to perform the same task with equivalent or better performance (Sturman & Wiggins, 2019a, 2019b). In another driving simulator study, novice drivers who were higher cue utilizers demonstrated fewer driving errors (Yuris et al, 2019).…”

The effect of cue utilization in driving on response inhibition

Summary Driving is a high‐risk and cognitively demanding activity that requires the efficient use of cognitive resources to inhibit responses when necessary to avoid accidents. Cue utilization, via an inherent capacity for pattern recognition, is one strategy that may be applied while driving to reduce cognitive load allowing for the allocation of resources to other demanding tasks. The present study was designed to measure the contribution of cue utilization in a driving context on performance in a response inhibition task. Undergraduate students (N = 105) completed the driving edition of EXPERTise 2.0 as an online assessment of cue utilization and a measure of response inhibition, the Stop‐Signal Task. The results indicated that participants with relatively higher cue utilization were more accurate at inhibiting responses, but there was no difference in their response times. These findings provide support for cue utilization as one strategy that may improve response inhibition through the acquisition and recognition of patterns, thereby decreasing cognitive load. The practical implications for drivers will be discussed.
