The effects of Visual Clutter and Perceptual Speed in high-pressured information environments on the performance of tactical systems operators in the

潜艇战术系统操作员被要求在高压、复杂的信息环境中工作，在这种环境中，他们面临着大量视觉数据的轰炸。然而，当存在太多的视觉刺激时，杂乱现象会降低个体在许多任务中的知觉。这个博士项目的目的是探索人们的搜索行为、性能和体验，给出各种杂乱的处理方式，取决于它与任务的一致性。此外，该项目将调查杂乱和感知速度之间的相互作用--这是人们感知刺激的准确性和速度的个体差异。因此，该项目将介绍如何设计未来的水下战场空间应用程序和系统，以帮助操作员提高效率和效力。

Submarine tactical systems operators are required to work in high pressured, complex information environments where they are bombarded with a multitude of visual data. However when too much visual stimuli is present, the phenomenon of clutter degrades an individual's perception in many tasks. This PhD Project aims to explore people's search behaviour, performance, and experience, given various manipulations of clutter depending on it's congruence to the task. Furthermore, the project will investigate the interaction between clutter and perceptual speed- an individual difference for how accurately and quickly people perceive stimuli. Consequently, the project will inform on how future underwater battlespace applications and systems are designed to help the operator be more efficient and effectiveness.
