Definition
How people's behaviour affects ML and AI design: psychological responses, patterns related to acute stress response (fight, flight, freeze), cultural protocols and belief systems.
Example: An alert system must not overload a person under stress.
Found in: syllabus, 2025 HSC marking guidelines, sample exam and familiarisation guidelines, school notes.

How to use it
A model sentence
“How people's behaviour affects ML and AI design: psychological responses, patterns related to acute stress response (fight, flight, freeze), cultural protocols and belief systems.” Then apply it: An alert system must not overload a person under stress.
In a short answer, give the definition in your own words first, then tie it to the situation in the question. Do not copy the example above unless it fits the scenario.
