Creating a safety culture: What are the consequences.
(2012)
Getting our work done safely is an ethical and financial imperative. An effective safety culture depends on the consequences for behaviour at every level of the organisation. The safety culture of an organization is not ...
Capturing hearts and minds: preparing an organization for effective implementation of behaviour-based safety
(Irish Ergonomics Society, 2013)
Many companies fail to successfully implement behaviour based safety (BBS) programmes within their organisation. Often failures are linked to the implementation strategy rather than the programmes themselves. BBS can be ...
The effects of goal-setting on feedback requests.
(Irish Ergonomics Society, 2012)
Prior research suggests that performance feedback enhances the effect of a goal on performance. The current study examined the effect of goal level on feedback solicitation. Participants were exposed to five ...
Developing behaviour-based solutions that last: Examples from industry.
(Irish Ergonomics Society, 2011)
Organizational behaviour management (OBM) is an approach to enhancing the performance of organizations. Based originally on the theories of B. F. Skinner and other psychologists, OBM practitioners ...
Structural imbalance and aesthetic preference in domestic chicks
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2010-10)
In Arnheim¿s (1954/1974) theory of structural balance, an image is more aesthetically pleasing when it demonstrates balance between multiple internal sources of directed perceptual force. Areas of balance and preferred ...
Electrophysiological correlates of flicker-induced form hallucinations
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2010-10)
Form hallucinations can be reliably induced using temporally modulated light within a specific frequency range (15-30Hz). The neural substrates of such states have yet to be established with certainty. Brain activity of 5 ...
Temporal structure and inner psychophysics: A glimpse of equilibrium?
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2010-10)
It has been suggested that the synchronization of spatially distributed neural assemblies at fast frequencies in the range 20 - 80 Hz (the ¿gamma¿ band) is instrumental for binding the separate feature-elements of a figure ...
Real-time network-storage for digital cameras
(IEEE, 2012)
Cloud computing suggests that we can move computers from the desktop onto the network. In this paper we investigate the potential to reduce local storage for handheld devices such as digital cameras or smart-phones to the ...
Effective design of total worker health interventions for lone workers: examples and implications for the Irish context
(Irish Ergonomics Society, 2014)
Workplace safety does not exist in a vacuum. Individuals come to work with a variety of advantages and disadvantages derived from their off-work activities. Extra-workplace behaviors and attitudes are likely to have greater ...
