Component-Specific Trust in a Multi-Gauge Monitoring Task Using a Modified MATB Paradigm
DescriptionReal-world operators are frequently required to divide their attention to monitor readings of multiple gauges that represent a complex system. As advanced technologies increasingly automate human functions in attention-demanding domains such as air and surface transportation, the operators must monitor and delegate tasks to automated systems that themselves are fallible. In these contexts, trust serves as a mediator crucial for determining the success of human-automation interaction, particularly when imperfect automation introduces potential risk to the operator. This experiment examined system-wide trust and component-specific trust theories using a modified MATB paradigm in which the reliability of one automated system was manipulated, while the other remained perfectly reliable. Participants were required to divide their attention between the central tracking task and the simultaneous monitoring of two engines. Here, we present evidence for the employment of Component Specific Trust and a possible link between trust development and attention allocation.
