Exploration of Sensemaking in the Education of Novices to the Complex Cognitive Work Domain of Air Traffic Control
… business and industry jobs consist primarily of cognitive work; however, current approaches to training may be inadequate for this type of work (Hoffman, Feltovich, Fiore, Klein, & Ziebell, 2009). To try and improve training and education for cognitive work, Klein and Baxter (2006) have proposed …

A proposed cost-benefit analysis model for physical form analysis for a futuristic submarine decision support system
This thesis proposes a model for cost-benefit analysis for physical form selection of a decision support tool, primarily to support system acquisition decisions that need to be made early in the system life cycle. By bringing objective and subjective costs and benefits into the same model and …

An Analysis of Intention Formation as a Function of Prospective Memory in Air Traffic Controllers
… in an air traffic scenario by employing a cognitive task analysis to determine when intentions are formed. The experimenter expects that controllers who form explicit intentions for specified future actions will perform better and that experience will facilitate intention formation.</p>

An analysis of information complexity in air traffic control human machine interaction
… elicits human information processing via cognitive task analysis (CTA) and expresses the HMI process algorithmically as a cognitive interaction algorithm (CIA). The CIA is comprised of multiple functions which formally describe each of the interaction processes required to complete a …

A Comparison of Instructional Design Methodologies for Central Venous Catheterization in a Mannequin-based Healthcare Simulation
<p>Simulations are becoming a widespread educational tool in healthcare. However, there is little research exploring the effectiveness and efficiency of instructional design methodologies compatible with mannequin-based simulations. Modern mannequins can breathe, blink, bleed, and speak. This study …

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Explaining the relation between management control systems and managers' causal mental models
Research into the cognitive effects of management accounting and control systems is largely oriented toward understanding how decision makers use accounting information to inform their judgement and decision making activity. However, the effect of these systems on decision making is not limited to …
