Abstract
Improving human systems integration through technologically advanced training and performance aids has become increasingly important to military transformation. Measures of improved cognitive and coordination processes arising from the employment of transformational tools are necessary to guide the refinement and future development of such technologies. In this article, we describe a cognitive load theory approach to developing a combinatory measure of individual workload and team performance following an experimental intervention involving training and a decision support system. We discuss how indicators of what we term team cognitive efficiency can improve assessing the effectiveness of transformational processes and technologies.
Notes
1 Because one of the items used in the NASA Task Load Index is conceptually distinct from measures of workload traditionally used in cognitive load theory (Item 5 assessing prediction of performance), it was not included in the overall sums.
2 For two of the participants, one Task Load Index data point (of his or her four possible) was missing.
