Our ability
to interact with
the environment concerns almost every aspect of our lives and
thus, is the focus of much effort in numerous research, clinical,
and industrial fields. Regardless of the implementation, knowledge
of performance, that is if or how well a task is or can be
accomplished,
is fundamental in the complete understanding of this interaction.
However, the complexity of the human system has given rise to
study at every conceivable level ranging from genetic to the total
human. Models play a significant role not only in understanding
the key issues at each level but also in describing the relationships
between various levels and providing frameworks that allow
practitioners
to obtain reasonably predictable results in a systematic and efficient
fashion.
The Elemental Resource Model (ERM) attempts to provide a quantitative
and straightforward framework for characterizing the human system,
tasks, and their interface. The ERM, along with the General Systems
Perormance Theory (GSPT) on which it is based, provides concise
systematic guidelines for understanding the human as a collection
of performance resources and for applying these resources in assessing
overall system performance. After more than a decade of development
at the Human Performance Institute (HPI) at the University of
Texas at Arlington, the ERM has been successfully applied in numerous
contexts ranging from predicting the performance of NFL quarterbacks
to remote telerobotic operations.
