“…In the current work, we use a microworld that provides a simplified simulation of above-water C2 warfare to assess decision making and the ability to detect critical events in complex and dynamic settings (Hodgetts, Vachon, & Tremblay, 2014; Hodgetts, Tremblay, Vallières, & Vachon, 2015; Vachon, Vallières, et al, 2012; Vallières, Hodgetts, Vachon, & Tremblay, 2016). This microworld requires participants to monitor a radar screen representing the airspace around the ship, evaluate the threat level of every airborne aircraft moving in the vicinity of the ship based on a visual list of parameters, and take retaliatory defensive measures against hostile aircraft.…”
