Abstract
When designing automated systems where users are still expected to take over control (e.g. automated driving up to level 3), it is important to prevent a critical loss of experience-based competence. Based on the somatic marker hypothesis, a model of experience-dependent somatic activation is proposed. It offers a theoretical linkage between the level of experience of a user and the mean somatic activation that can be measured by means of electrodermal activity. The model is consistent with both empirical findings and the theoretical conception of somatic markers.
