Computer-Based Intelligent Tutoring Systems: A Cognitive Approach to Team Training and Performance Research

摘要

This paper describes progress related to a program of research in computer-based team training. We describe an approach to development of computer-based team training systems based on principles of cognitive skill acquisition and a functional conceptualization of teamwork. We consider individualized training technology and theory regarding individual skill acquisition and apply this approach to teamwork functions and team decision processes. First, we review principles of computer-based individual training previously established and validated in our lab. We then describe a functional taxonomy of teamwork demands, based on core aspects of teamwork with emphasis on dimensions relevant to training issues. Finally, we relate these teamwork dimensions to a taxonomy of cognitive task demands.
