Conceptualizing Cognition at Multiple Levels in Support of Training Team Cognitive Readiness

摘要

Many operational domains require rapid and adaptive responses from individuals, teams, and largerorganizational units to address dynamic and unpredictable environmental demands. These create a numberof challenges to effective performance and consequently pose many challenges to training theory. Thispaper presents a framework for conceptualizing these multi-level processes in the context of training theoryfor team cognitive readiness. We submit that the development of theory for the individual, team, and teamof-teams level, as well as for across levels, is necessary for team cognitive readiness. From this, we canbetter target the design and test of training methods in support of team cognitive readiness.
