General Human Factors (Cross-Domain)

Cross-domain human factors theory — situation awareness models and human error taxonomies — stated at the operator level, not tied to any one vehicle system.
What's here. The general-theory layer: situation_awareness_theory and human_error_taxonomy. Frameworks, models and classification schemes stated at the operator level and applicable across aviation, process control and other supervisory-control domains as well as driving.
What isn't here.
- situational_awareness as studied and measured in driving tasks — Cognitive Workload. The strongest wrong turn: situational_awareness there is almost the same string as situation_awareness_theory here. This shelf holds the SA constructs and models; SA measurement, attention_allocation, and workload-related empirical work is under cognitive_workload.
- trust in automation, complacency, trust calibration, takeover transitions, mode awareness — Vehicle Automation & ADAS. Re-parented 2026-08-11: automation_complacency_bias and trust_in_automation_foundations now live with the automation literature, because their strongest neighbours are all automation topics (trust_in_automation_foundations pairs with trust_calibration at 75x expected). Nothing automation-specific remains here.
- sustained_attention_vigilance, signal_detection_theory, capacity_resource_theory — Cognitive Psychology Foundations. "General" here means cross-domain human factors, not general cognition. Laboratory attention, vigilance, and resource-theory work — the mechanisms complacency and SA models draw on — sits in cognitive_psychology_foundations.
