所谓人类工程学是将理论的、实验的心理学运用于人——机系统的关系中去,使后者适应于人类身心的工程学的一个领域。有很多有效利用心理学研究成果而设计出来的系统。例如,如何设计出一种打字机使打字速度最快而错误率却最低;应当设计出一种什么样的计算机使那些必须依靠眼前的键盘和开关进行操作的计算机工作人员能最简便地记住各键位和开关;为了在最短时间内最大限度地从显示牌上读取股票的行情,纽约的股票交易所应该怎样设计等等都是这样的实例。
The so-called ergonomics is the application of theoretical and experimental psychology to the relationship between man-machine systems to adapt the latter to one field of human physical and mental engineering. There are many systems designed to make effective use of psychological research. For example, how to design a typewriter to make typing faster and lower error rates; what kind of computer should be designed to make it easy for computer workers who must rely on the immediate keypad and switch to remember Keys and switches; an example of how a stock exchange should be designed in New York in order to maximize its readiness of a stock from a display card in the shortest amount of time.
