Background: Underground coal mine shuttle cars provide an example of a vehicle in which operators are required to alternate between compatible and incompatible steering configurations. Methods: This experiment examines the performance of 48 novice participants in a virtual analogy of an underground coal mine shuttle car. Participants were randomly assigned to a compatible condition, an incompatible condition, an alternating condition in which compatibility alternated within and between hands, or an alternating condition in which compatibility alternated between hands. Results: Participants made fewer steering direction errors and made correct steering responses more quickly in the compatible condition. Error rate decreased over time in the incompatible condition. A compatibility effect for both errors and reaction time was also found when the control-response relationship alternated; however, performance improvements over time were not consistent. Isolating compatibility to a hand resulted in reduced error rate and faster reaction time than when compatibility alternated within and between hands. Conclusion: The consequences of alternating control-response relationships are higher error rates and slower responses, at least in the early stages of learning. Application: This research highlights the importance of ensuring consistently compatible human-machine directional control-response relationships.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1518\/001872007x215700","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,21]],"date-time":"2007-07-21T13:06:14Z","timestamp":1185023174000},"page":"628-636","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Performance Consequences of Alternating Directional Control-Response Compatibility: Evidence From a Coal Mine Shuttle Car Simulator"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Christine M.","family":"Zupanc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Queensland, St. Lucia, Australia,"}]},{"given":"Robin J.","family":"Burgess-Limerick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Queensland, St. Lucia, Australia"}]},{"given":"Guy","family":"Wallis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Queensland, St. Lucia, Australia"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00140130117522"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0096-1523.20.5.987"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0001-6918(94)E0067-P"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Duncan, J.
