Abstract
This chapter introduces cognitive ergonomics (CE) and its relevance to medical device design, instructions for use (IFU), work environments, procedures, and training. CE, sometimes referred to as cognitive engineering, applies scientific knowledge of human behavior, capabilities, and limitations to improve cognitive work. It emphasizes cognitive processing, such as perception, attention, learning, memory, and decision-making, which have great impact on complex, changing environments, with high cognitive workload.
