Lastly, it is unclear how cue use when observing automation differs as a function of experience. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p> The study involved a visual search task. Some participants performed the task first, then watched automation complete it. Others watched and then performed, and a third group alternated between performing and watching. After each trial, participants made a JOD by indicating if the task was easier or harder than before. Task difficulty randomly changed every five trials. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> A Bayesian regression suggested that cue use is similar to and different from cue use while observing humans. For central cues, support for the UAH was bounded by experience: those who performed the task first underweighted central cues when making JODs, relative to their counterparts in a previous study involving humans. For peripheral cues, support for the MEH was unequivocal and participants weighted cues similarly across observation sources. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> People weighted cues similar to and different from when they watched automation perform a task relative to when they
