Is Dependency in Human Reliability Analysis a Real Phenomenon? Refining the Dependency Concept Through Research

Solutions for Enhanced Legacy Probabilistic Risk Assessment Tools and Methodologies: Improving Efficiency of Model Development and Processing via Innovative Human Reliability Dependency Analysis

“…We are now 40 years past Swain and Guttman's first description of error dependence. Despite the decades that have passed, we still do not have a concrete understanding of error dependence to support HRA (Mortenson and Boring 2021). Notably, task batteries treat tasks as independent and do not account for task dependency.…”

Flppr: Cognitive Loading Task for Error Dependency Research

“…Notably, task batteries treat tasks as independent and do not account for task dependency. Mortenson and Boring (2021) go as far as to question whether task dependency is a real phenomenon or merely a theoretical concept. If task dependency is real, why does it exist?…”
