The focus of this book is on how experts adapt to complexity,
synthesize and interpret information in context, and transform or
"fuse" disparate items of information into coherent knowledge. The
chapters examine these processes across experts (e.g. global
leaders, individuals in extreme environments, managers, police
officers, pilots, commanders, doctors, inventors), across contexts
(e.g. space and space analogs, corporate organizations, command and
control, crisis and crowd management, air traffic control, the
operating room, product development), and for both individual and
team performance. Successful information integration is a key
factor in the success of diverse endeavors, including team attempts
to climb Mt. Everest, crowd control in the Middle East, and remote
drilling operations. This volume is divided into four sections,
each with a specific focus on an area of expert performance,
resulting in a text that covers a wide range of useful information.
These sections present well-researched discussions, such as: the
management of complex situations in various fields and decision
contexts; technological and training approaches to facilitate
knowledge management by individual experts and expert teams; new or
neglected perspectives in expert decision making; and the
importance of 'modeling' expert performance through techniques and
frameworks such as Cognitive Task Analysis, computational
architectures based on the notion of causal belief mapping such as
'Convince Me,' or the data/frame model of sensemaking. The volume
provides essential reading for researchers and practitioners of
Naturalistic Decision Making and those who study Expertise;
Organizational and Cognitive Psychologists; and researchers and
students in Business and Engineering.
