Using cognitive engineering for system design and evaluation: A visualization aid for stability and support operations

Cognitive Task Analysis

“…The results demonstrated that the experimental group in the structured training solved twice as many malfunctions, in less time, than those trained in the traditional way, leading to a reduction not only in training time, but the costs of troubleshooting overall. Similar applications of CTA have been effective for expert analysis of military intelligence for stability and support operations (Pfautz & Roth, 2006) and to identify decision requirements for launching AEGIS cruise missiles in high-stress situations (Cohen, Freeman, & Wolf, 1995;Klein, Kaempf, Thorsden, & Miller, 1997).…”

41.4: Meta-Information Visualization in Geographic Information Display Systems

“…This kind of analysis can also be used to discover the limitations of existing display systems where meta-information is needed and not displayed. Furthermore, several recent case studies demonstrate the power of CTA in driving the design of novel visualizations of abstract domain concepts and the subsequent improvement in performance [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Effect of Novel Adaptive Displays on Pilot Performance and Workload

“…We used cognitive task analysis (CTA) methods (Bisantz & Roth, 2008;Mahoney et al, 2008;Pfautz & Roth, 2006;Schraagen, Chipman, & Shalin, 2000), including structured interviews, to identify a number of key SA issues arising in air combat aviation. Our CTA included extensive interviews with a retired Navy fighter pilot on our team Downloaded by [Tulane University] at 05:01 04 October 2014…”
