Definición

  • Ergonomics and human factors seek to enhance the fit between individuals and their work environments by applying knowledge of human abilities and limitations to the design of operational processes, system interfaces, training, and performance aids. Developed along similar lines as industrial and organizational psychology, the career field owes much of its early success to applications in support of military efforts in World War II. Of these early success stories, one of the most notable involved redesigning pilot controls on military aircraft in response to a large number of pilots flying their airplanes into the ground.
