Learning

Theory

Learning is a process of improving the interaction knowledge (reducing the fuzziness) by repeating the three-stage learning cycle.

Learning is the most effective way of the human operators to improve their performance

Learning styles

• By studying - creating new models of the system operation, may help with the perception of new hazards
• By experiencing - trial and error learning helps understanding abstract models
• By practice - is useful to gradually enhance psychomotoric skills (such as typing). Practice does not help much regarding perception of new information.

Often, initial learning is conscious. People are aware of their action selections and they expect to receive feedback.

Some learning is subconscious. People are often driven by curiosity. They act spontaneously, trying various actions, examining and evaluating the effects of their actions on the state of the world.

Often, people do not admit the basic need for learning by exploration, and they feel ashamed about the undesirable results – the “Oops” reaction.
