Bibliometric review on cognitive ergonomics.

Abstract

Abstract: Cognitive ergonomics studies the interactions that occur between the worker’s mental processes (reasoning, memory, perception, motor response) and the other elements of the human-machine system. The above in the current work environments, where more and more information is handled for decision making, and greater complexity in controls and dashboards is found, among several other aspects, makes cognitive ergonomics becomes more important since these elements imply a greater mental workload. This is how in recent years research on this topic has increased significantly. So, in this work we seek to quantify and characterize the scientific products published with reference to cognitive ergonomics, in English, Spanish and Portuguese mainly, seeking to find the trends and advances in this important topic.
