Human performance refers to the way in which individuals carry out tasks, make decisions, and accomplish goals. It encompasses a wide range of abilities, including cognitive, physical, and emotional skills, as well as factors such as motivation, attitude, and personality. Understanding human performance is crucial in many fields, such as sports, business, medicine, education, and aviation as it can impact productivity, efficiency, well-being and most importantly, safety. By studying and improving human performance, we can enrich our abilities, achieve greater success, and enhance safety.
