Summary

Measure twice, cut once. Although applicable to all areas of human factors research, this old adage is especially relevant to simulation and training. As a tool, simulation is an aid to the imagination; however, if incorrectly or inadequately used, it can lead to inaccurate outcomes that not only limit the possibilities, but potentially cause harm. A comprehensive overview of the topic from a human factors perspective, Human Factors in Simulation and Training not only reflects the state-of-the art, but also integrates the literature on simulation into one cohesive resource.
