Background: This body of research is viewed from the vantage point of Nick Bond's 1970 Ely Award\u2014winning article in Human Factors, \u201cSome Persistent Myths About Military Electronics Maintenance.\u201d Method: Bond identified a set of myths and summarized research that not only produced information and techniques leading to demonstrably improved maintenance performance but also exploded many unfounded beliefs that were commonly held before the research had been conducted and the findings disseminated. Results: The period from 1964 through 1986, as reflected by publications in the journal, was a productive period of research that led to greater understanding of human factors in electronics maintenance and to numerous advances that contributed, ultimately, to more effective maintenance performance. Conclusion: Technological advances, combined with what we learned about maintenance performance, have substantially reduced the maintenance burden and enhanced the maintenance of electronic systems. Application: Some of the principal lessons learned from this research on electronics maintenance apply to understanding the effects of equipment complexity, providing an optimal role for automation, designing more appropriate on-the-job training, and enhancing troubleshooting skills. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1518\/001872008x288358","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,23]],"date-time":"2008-06-23T13:07:19Z","timestamp":1214226439000},"page":"375-379","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Myths and Realities of Electronics Maintenance"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Douglas H.","family":"Harris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Anacapa Sciences, Inc., Santa Barbara, California,"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/001872088602800501"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/001872087001200302"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/001872086600800501"},{"volume-title":"Electronics troubleshooting: A behavioral analysis","year":"1956","author":"Bryan, G.L.","key":"atypb4"},{"volume-title":"The role of humans in complex computer maintenance","year":"1959","author":"Bryan, G.L.","key":"atypb5"},{"volume-title":"A survey of the current status of the electronic reliability problem (RM-1131-PR)","year":"1953","author":"Carhart, R.R.","key":"atypb6"},{"volume-title":"Maintainability: A major element of system effectiveness","year":"1964","author":"Goldman, A.S.","key":"atypb7"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/001872086700900208"},{"volume-title":"Fault diagnosis by white noise techniques (Tech.
