Complex Cognition, papers by Lisanne Bainbridge

  This is the complete paper by John Beishon. The suggestions for modelling are outdated, but I have not done any editing as the simulation suggestions are closely interwoven with comments on the operator’s cognitive behaviour. After this bakery study, John Beishon went on to direct the study of furnace power control reported in my papers. I was his research assistant for collecting and first analyses of the steel works data.  So those analyses were done within the context of this bakery study.  My further analysis was done when possible between teaching commitments after I moved on from working for him to lecturing at the University of Reading. An Analysis and Simulation of an Operator's Behaviour in Controlling Continuous Baking Ovens By  R. J. Beishon Department of Psychology, University of Bristol first published in F.

This is part of a paper by Crossman, Cooke and Beishon discussing whether sampling by industrial process operators can be modelled in the same way as was done at the time for sampling in tasks with quickly changing dynamics such as flying.   This is the section describing a case study of sampling by operators of a paper mill.  The sections of the paper not included here discuss sampling in a simpler slow response laboratory task.
