This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of using gaze entropy to evaluate an operator's situation awareness in an emergency accident situation of a nuclear power plant. Gaze entropy can be an effective measure for evaluating an operator's situation awareness at a nuclear power plant because it can express gaze movement as a single comprehensive number. In order to determine the relationship between situation awareness and gaze entropy for an emergency accident situation of a nuclear power plant, an experiment was conducted to measure situation awareness and gaze entropy using simulators created for emergency accident situations LOCA, SGTR, SLB, and LOV. The experiment was to judge the accident situation of nuclear power plants presented in the simulator. The results showed that situation awareness and Shannon, dwell time, and Markov entropy had a significant negative correlation, while visual attention entropy (VAE) did not show any significant correlation with situation awareness. The results determined that Shannon entropy, dwell time entropy, and Markov entropy could be used as measures to evaluate situation awareness.

This research was conducted to explore relationships among situation awareness, presence, and performance on a handheld game console. Situation Awareness was measured by SAGAT (Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique) while presence was measured by PQ (Presence Questionnaire) version 3.0. The performance was measured by the number of aircraft shot down during the flight simulator game. The results show that both situation awareness and presence were positively significantly correlated with performance. In order to investigate the effect of performance level, subjects were divided into two significantly different groups: low and high performance groups. In the low performance group, both situation awareness and presence showed a significantly positive correlation with performance. The correlation between presence and situation awareness also showed a positively significant correlation. However, in the high performance group, there were no significant correlations among them. In conclusion, different performance levels could be said to be an important factor in the study of situation awareness and presence. Furthermore, this study also proved that the domain of research on situation awareness and presence was extended to small displays such as the handheld game console.

Situation awareness is defined as a person's perception of the elements of the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning and the projection of their status in the near future. Situation awareness is important in attempting to evaluate human behavior in operating complex systems such as aircraft, air traffic control, and nuclear power plant systems. From the literatures this study reviews the relationship between situation awareness and numerous individual, system and environmental factors, and also reviews the methodologies for the empirical measurement of situation awareness applicable to Korea Next Generation Reactor (KNGR) design project. Attention, working memory, workload, stress, system complexity, and automation are presented as critical factors limiting operator's situation awareness. Mental models and goal-directed behavior are hypothesized as important mechanisms overcoming these limits. This study summarized hypothesized guidelines for interface design to improve situation awareness of reactor operators. Some of the guidelines should be tested in the KNGR evaluation experiments in the future.

Human capabilities, such as technical/nontechnical skills, have begun to be recognized as crucial factors for nuclear safety. One of the most common ways to improve human capabilities in general is training. The nuclear industry has constantly developed and used training as a tool to increase plant efficiency and safety. An integrated training framework was suggested for one of those efforts, especially during simulation training sessions of nuclear power plant operation teams. The developed training evaluation methods are based on measuring the levels of situation awareness of teams in terms of the level of shared confidence and consensus as well as the accuracy of team situation awareness. Verification of the developed methods was conducted by analyzing the training data of real nuclear power plant operation teams. The teams that achieved higher level of shared confidence showed better performance in solving problem situations when coupled with high consensus index values. The accuracy of nuclear power plant operation teams' situation awareness was approximately the same or showed a similar trend as that of senior reactor operators' situation awareness calculated by a situation awareness accuracy index (SAAI). Teams that had higher SAAI values performed better and faster than those that had lower SAAI values.

이 연구는 일반적인 인지이론을 조종사 기술의 범위로 확대시켜, 조종사가 얼마나 빠르고 정확하게 상황인식을 하는지를 제시문과 비행 장면 일치성 측정을 통해 알아보았다. 이 연구의 목적은 두 가지 측면의 변인에 따라 상황인식이 전문성의 영향을 받는지를 알아보는 것이다. 비행 요소간의 관계를 나타내는 비행 상황 변인들과 비행 요소의 내용을 나타내는 비행 상황 변인들 모두 비행 상황인식에 영향을 주었다 그리고 작업기억은 다양한 정보들을 통합시키는 데 결정적인 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 비행 상황인식의 바탕인 인지적 과정을 나타내는 구조화통합 모델의 이론적 틀 안에서 설명되어진다.

Analyses of eye tracking and think-aloud protocol data were performed to examine novice-expert differences in perceptual and cognitive aspects of air traffic controllers' situation awareness. In Experiment 1, three groups of field air traffic controllers (experts, intermediates, novices) were asked to perceive situations that were manipulated by situation complexity. In Experiment 2, protocol analysis for previous situation awareness tasks was performed to extract different task models and strategy models as a function of expertise. Then delayed-recall task and interviews about air control plans for the recalled situations were also executed. Results showed that expert controllers concentrate only on several critical features and have their own strategies to reduce mental workloads.

본 연구는 사업용 운전자들의 상황인식 능력이 사고 유발 회수나 심각성, 벌점 등과 관련성이 있는지 알아보기 위한 목적을 가지고 진행되었다. 이를 위해 상황인식의 지각 단계와 이해 단계의 능력을 측정하기 위한 상황지각 검사와 위험판단 검사를 제작하고, 운전정밀 특별검사 대상자인 사업용 운전자 228명에게 새로 개발된 시뮬레이터 기기를 이용하여 상황지각 검사와 위험판단 검사를 시행하였다. 개발된 과제의 수행 결과는 최종 5등급으로 판정이 내려지도록 설계되었는데 가장 수행이 좋은 경우 1등급, 수행이 나쁜 경우 5등급 판정을 받도록 하였다. 연구 결과, 상황지각 검사에서의 저조한 등급은 누산벌점과 사고 다발도, 안전도 지수와 정적인 상관이 있었으며 위험판단 검사의 등급은 사고 다발도와 안전도 지수와 정적인 상관이 있었다. 이는 사업용 운전자들의 상황인식 능력이 법규위반 및 사고 유발 경향과 관련이 있음을 보여준다.

Objective: The aim of this study is to model all levels of situation awareness (SA), which would be able to predict situation awareness quantitatively. Background: When measuring situation awareness, directly measuring SA methods such as SAGAT and SART have been utilized. Several approaches (cognitive modeling approaches) were introduced to model SA but level 3 SA was not completed. For real-life situation, however, it is necessary to detect the problematic level of SA rather than overall SA. Therefore, we proposed a new model of all levels of SA in this study. Method: In order to model all levels of SA, this study chose factors in ACT-R architecture through literature review. ATC (Air Traffic Control)-related simulation task was video-taped to analyze human behaviors in order to model all levels of SA including level 3. Results: As a result, regression analyses show that cognitive activities (neural activations) represented for all levels of SA were highly correlated with SAGAT. Conclusion: In conclusion, neural activations in ACT-R could be proved to be effective to model all levels of SA. Application: Our SA model could be used to predict all levels of SA quantitatively without directly measuring the SA of operators.

본 연구에서는 상황인식 시 구체 및 비구체적 단서가 테니스 선수의 의사결정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가를 조사하였다. 피험자는 미국 국가 테니스 등급 프로그램 중 수준이 3-4.5에 해당하는 사람들을 대상으로 하였다. 과제는 피험자가 테니스 단식수비, 단식공격, 복식 수비 랠리 장면을 상황인식하다가 화면이 정지되면 가능한 빨리 예측방향을 예상하여 해당버튼(좌, 중, 우)을 누르는 것이다. 실험설계는 집단(3)${\times}$조건(3)${\times}$영역(7)에 대한 삼원분산분석을 실시하였다. 종속변수는 반응시간, 정확률, P300의 진폭과 잠재기였다. 연구결과 구체적정보 집단과 비구체적 정보 집단이 통제집단보다 P300 잠재기는 짧고, 진폭은 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 영역에는 Fz, Cz, Pz 영역의 진폭이 크게 나타났으며, 조건 간에는 단식수비조건이 단식공격 그리고 복식수비조건 보다 진폭이 크게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과 독립변수로 제공된 비구체적 상황인식과 구체적 상황인식 정보는 피험자의 정보처리에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구의 결과는 사건관련전위가 상황인식이나 의사결정 과정을 측정하는 도구로 사용될 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다.

이 연구는 급성관상동맥증후군을 경험한 환자의 상황인식 수준 측정을 위한 SART 도구의 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증하기 위해 시도되었다. 입원한 급성관상동맥증후군 환자 118명에게 번역된 SART 도구를 적용하여 도구의 신뢰도와 타당도를 분석하였다. 도구의 신뢰도와 타당도는 Cronbach 알파, 탐색적, 확인적 요인분석을 통해 분석하였다. 연구 결과 상황 인식 1(Instability of Situation, 상황의 불안정성)과 상황 인식 7(Spare Mental Capacity, 여분의 정신력)의 두 문항을 제거하였을 때 도구의 신뢰도와 모델 적합도 지수가 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 수정된 국문판 SART는 급성관상동맥증후군 환자의 치료추구행동에 대한 의사결정 시 상황인식 정도를 측정하는 데 적절한 도구로 판단된다.
