The Out-of-the-Loop Performance Problem and Level of Control in Automation

Catalog evidence and recorded chart appearances. Inclusion is not an endorsement.

Source snapshot imported 2026-10-20. This is not a live feed. Source and contributions.

Evidence and limits

Finding: Higher automation reduced situation awareness and failure-recovery performance, while active participation moderated the loss.

Impact: Strengthen active-review and reentry tests. Reject routine success as evidence of takeover readiness.

Boundary: The controlled navigation task predates generative systems. Next: which active participation preserves readiness without erasing useful automation gains?

Flags: laboratory control task; historical interface

Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement

What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
