ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a summary from the literature of one such method of reducing decision times, namely the principle of redundancy gains. It addresses the ability to produce facilitation and interference effects at a cognitive level. The chapter focuses on those effects which have potential relevance to the applied aviation environment. It provides empirical demonstrations of ways in which redundancy gain theory can be implemented successfully in the design of aircraft warnings. The chapter shows that the impact of neural models for the design of safety critical warning systems. E. W. Farmer et al. used the concept of integral dimensions to predict colour difference requirements, on the three Munsell colour dimensions, for cockpit map design. The most efficient approach to design is to have a priori design tools able to predict performance and avoiding the need for continual empirical assessment of new design alternatives. The concepts of integral/separable stimuli have been used in the design of information on visual displays.
