Summary

This systematic review examines automation bias (AB)—the tendency to over-rely on automated systems—with a focus on clinical decision support systems (CDSS) in healthcare. The authors analyzed 74 studies from multiple research fields to assess the frequency and severity of automation bias, identify mediating factors, and evaluate potential interventions. The review finds that user factors (cognitive style, experience), system design characteristics, and attitudinal factors significantly influence automation bias, and discusses related phenomena like automation-induced complacency where users fail to adequately monitor automated outputs.
