Abstract:

To address constrained human-machine collaborative decision-making performance caused by cognitive differences between operators and intelligent systems in coal mine intelligent monitoring tasks, this study, grounded in cognitive load theory, develops a theoretical model of the effects of human-intelligent system cognitive fit on human-machine collaborative decision-making performance. Task complexity, including information load and task structure, and system transparency, including information transparency and process transparency, are introduced as contextual moderators. Using a multi-stage questionnaire survey, empirical data were collected from frontline coal mine workers. The results show that human-intelligent system cognitive fit has a significant positive effect on human-machine collaborative decision-making performance (β=0.253, p<0.001). Information load, task structure, information transparency, and process transparency all significantly and positively moderate the relationship between cognitive fit and human-machine collaborative decision-making performance. Specifically, higher levels of these contextual factors strengthen the positive effect of cognitive fit on collaborative decision-making performance. This effect is particularly pronounced under conditions of high information load and high process transparency.

Key words: human-intelligent system, cognitive fit, human-machine collaborative decision-making performance, task complexity, system transparency
