“…Examples include the related terms ‘heavy traffic’ (feature) and ‘short-cut’ (event) and relatively less related terms ‘traffic-light’ (feature) with ‘free-way’ (object). Higher levels of cue utilization are associated with a greater variance in the perceived relatedness of terms ( Ackerman and Rathburn, 1984 ; Schvaneveldt et al, 2001 ; Morrison et al, 2013 ).…”

Cue Utilization and Cognitive Load in Novel Task Performance

This study was designed to examine whether differences in cue utilization were associated with differences in performance during a novel, simulated rail control task, and whether these differences reflected a reduction in cognitive load. Two experiments were conducted, the first of which involved the completion of a 20-min rail control simulation that required participants to re-route trains that periodically required a diversion. Participants with a greater level of cue utilization recorded a consistently greater response latency, consistent with a strategy that maintained accuracy, but reduced the demands on cognitive resources. In the second experiment, participants completed the rail task, during which a concurrent, secondary task was introduced. The results revealed an interaction, whereby participants with lesser levels of cue utilization recorded an increase in response latency that exceeded the response latency recorded for participants with greater levels of cue utilization. The relative consistency of response latencies for participants with greater levels of cue utilization, across all blocks, despite the imposition of a secondary task, suggested that those participants with greater levels of cue utilization had adopted a strategy that was effectively minimizing the impact of additional sources of cognitive load on their performance.

“…Although paired associations are not closely matched to a real-world process, this measure is based on the long-standing practice of measuring the strength of associations in memory by presenting word pairs and measuring response latency (Ackerman & Rathburn, 1984) or ratings of perceived relatedness (Schvaneveldt, Beringer, & Lamonica, 2001). Therefore, this task should provide a measure of the real-world ability to recognize the relationship between key features and events, critical to the recognition of latent faults.…”

“…This is consistent with the paired-relatedness analyses utilized by Schvaneveldt et al (2001), whereby expert aviators demonstrated reduced response times and greater discrimination for ratings of association between paired items. As with the Feature Discrimination Task, discrimination in the Paired Association Task was measured using the within-subject variance across item ratings, and thus domain experts were expected to demonstrate both reduced response latency (Ackerman & Rathburn, 1984;Schvaneveldt et al, 2001) and greater response variance in the Paired Association Task (Weiss & Shanteau, 2003).…”

Objective: The present study investigated whether performance across a range of cue-based cognitive tasks differentiated the diagnostic performance of power control operators into three distinct groups, characteristic of novice, competence, and expertise. Background: Despite its increasing importance in the contemporary workplace, there is little understanding of the cognitive processes that distinguish novice, competent, and expert performance in the context of remote diagnosis. However, recent evidence suggests that cue acquisition and utilization may represent a mechanism by which the transition from novice to expertise occurs. Method: The study involved the application of four distinct cue-based tasks within the context of power system control. A total of 65 controllers, encompassing a range of industry experience, completed the tasks as part of an in-service training program. Results: Using a cluster analysis, it was possible to extract three distinct groups of operators on the basis of their performance in the cue-based tasks, and these groups corresponded to differences in diagnostic performance. Conclusion: The results indicate assessments of the capacity to extract and utilize cues were able to distinguish expert from competent practitioners in the context of power control. Application: Assessments of the capacity to extract and utilize cues may be used in the future to distinguish expert from nonexpert practitioners, particularly in the context of remote diagnosis.

“…Consistent with this perspective, Ackerman and Rathburn (1984) investigated the effect of episodic experience on the acquisition and retrieval of cue-based information. When presenting participants with word pairings, the experimenters varied the participants' recognition experience by presenting word pairings that were categorically related to each other and other pairs that were unrelated.…”

Motivation-The study examined whether experts and novices differed in their recognition of decisionmaking cues. Research approach-To test cue recognition, the authors developed and tested a computer-based cue recognition task on a group of expert and novice offender profilers. Findings/Design-Recognition performance was assessed in relation to cue classification agreement and recognition response latency among and between the two groups. The findings revealed superior performance on both measures by the experts compared to the novices. Research limitations/Implications-The findings have implications for the cue selection process in the design of computer-based training, and decision support systems. Originality/Value-The research offers an objective means of: 1) identifying cues; 2) gauging relative cue stability/strength; 3) comparing cue recognition across expertise; and, 4) selecting a valid cue-set for use in training and support systems. Take away message-There are significant differences in cue recognition across expertise that may, in part, differentiate decision-making performance.
