- Identifiers
- physical systems models yield incomplete designs because human 'cognitive' abilities to adapt to uncertain situations are not described; cognitive systems engineering approach, when combined with physical models, provides a comprehensive and integrated view of fire safety systems; deciding when to evacuat a building is an example of distributed cognition; determining which route of egress a person will choose to follow
