Evidence and limits
Finding: Higher automation improved routine performance and workload but reduced situation awareness and failure performance, especially across the analysis-to-action-selection boundary.
Impact: Strengthen function-specific benefit and recovery measurement. Reject one global automation level.
Boundary: The studies vary and mostly predate LLM systems. Next: do the same tradeoffs appear when generative agents move from analysis to consequential action?
Flags: classical automation studies; heterogeneous stages
Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement
What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
