Abstract
Methodologies for assessing human judgment in complex domains are important for design of both displays that inform judgments and automated systems that suggest judgments. This paper applies n-system Lens Model methods for evaluating human judgments, examining the impact of displays, and assessing the similarity between human judgments and the judgment policies used by automated systems. First, the need for and concepts underlying, judgment analysis are outlined. Then the n-system Lens Model and its parameters are formally described. This model is then used to examine a study of aircraft collision detection examined previously using standard ANOVA methods. Our analysis found the same main effects as the earlier analysis. However, the n-system Lens Model analysis provided greater resolution regarding the information relied upon for judgments, the impact of displays on judgment, and the attributes of human judgments that are - and are not - similar to judgments produced by automated system
