Explanation in Human-AI Systems: A Literature Meta-Review, Synopsis of Key Ideas and Publications, and Bibliography for Explainable AI (2019, background): “A number of general discussions on developing systems from a human factors perspective are relevant (e.g., Conant and Ashby, 1970; Bellotti, et al., 2002; Landauer, 1988; Lazar, Feng, and Hochheiser, 2017; Rasmussen, 1983).”
A new fuzzy additive ratio assessment method (ARAS‐F). Case study: The analysis of fuzzy multiple criteria in order to select the logistic centers location (2010, background): “According to (Rasmussen 1983), the solution process of decision making problem could be divided into three broad categories.”
Cognitive, physical, sensory, and functional affordances in interaction design (2003, methodology): “Even before the concepts of user-interaction design were stable and well documented in Norman’s (1986) model, Rasmussen (1983) provided foundational support by constructing a description of system usage in a functional abstraction hierarchy.”
Principles of Synthetic Intelligence: Psi: An Architecture of Motivated Cognition (2009, background): “…theories, and a theory of action control that has partly been developed by Dörner himself (Dörner, 1974; Dörner & Wearing, 1995), and incorporates ideas of Norbert Bischof (1968, 1975, 1989, 1996), Friedhart Klix (1984, 1992), Ulrich Neisser (1967, 1976), Jens Rasmussen (1983), and many others.”
Just more of the same, or different? An integrative theoretical framework for the study of cumulative interruptions at work (2015, background): “…modes of execution, called regulation levels, which involve different types of mental representations and which differ in cognitive demands (cf. Rasmussen, 1983): automatic or skill-based (stereotyped and unconscious actions, e.g., typing an “A”); associational or rule-based (actions are…”
Complex problem solving: a case for complex cognition? (2010, background): “The move from the level of elementary processes to complex cognition is a shift in the hierarchy level of explanation (see for more details Rasmussen 1983): instead of talking about the detectability of red lights as a signal (level 1), one is talking about the red light as a stop sign (level 2) or…”
Human Factors and Ergonomics (2011, methodology): “Although there are more elaborated classifications today, it is possible to make a synthesis based on the classical scheme proposed by Jens Rasmussen (1983).”
The Anatomy of Motivation: An Evolutionary-Ecological Approach (2013, background): “Finally, there are theories about uncertainty reduction (Dall et al. 2005) and skill development (Rasmussen 1983; Ash and Holding 1990; Plourde 2008) that relate to the evolutionary problems addressed by the motives of curiosity and play.”
