Abstract	In order to provide the engineers with the necessary inputs about the cognitive processes of information acquisition and human behavior and its determining variables such as abilities and adaptation of the human being to his/her environment, the following steps have been taken: First, a theoretical basis is provided. Relevant theories regarding information acquisition are introduced, discussed and put in relationship with each other regarding the variable linking them, which is, the familiarity or the novelty of a situation. Then, theories classifying human behavior are introduced and their relationship with information acquisition discussed, as well as the impact of the novelty of the situation. Based on the cognitive processes underlying the described changes of information acquisition and human behavior in the course of adapting to a new environment and based on research conducted in the field of skill acquisition, abilities are discussed, which are expected to determine information acquisition and human behavior in the course of adaptation. Second, a study has been conducted to test major assumptions of the derived theoretical advancements. The according method section describes the research questions and the variables of interest, the method applied to calculate the required sample size, the apparatus and material used to collect data, the setting and the course of the study, the characteristics of the participants as well as the analytical strategy used to analyze the data and the derived results. The final section discusses the results and puts them in relation to the in, the first part derived theoretical advancements. Conclusions are drawn regarding the assistance system to be developed: The behavioral phenomena of natural gaze behavior to be considered by the engineers when developing the assistance system are summarized, as are implications regarding predicting human operations in given environments.
