IST Student Dave Schuster Garners Human Factors Society Award for Security Screener Training Improvement Research

Human Factors Psychology student Dave Schuster, a member of one of IST's cognitive science teams, has won a grant from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society's Training Technical Group to study methods for improving airport security screener training efficiency. Schuster will measure effectiveness of training that adapts to a screener's existing knowledge and capability. Ultimately, the research may result in baggage screeners better able to adapt to terrorists' new ways to conceal explosives.
