Due to the requirements of automatic system design, and new needs
for the training of complex tasks, Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA)
has been used with increasing frequency in recent years by the
airline industry and air traffic control community. Its power is
reflected in the literature on professional training and systems
design, where CTA is often cited as one of the most promising new
technologies, especially for the complex cognitive tasks now
confronting those working in aviation. The objective of this book
is to bridge the gap between research and practice, to make what we
know about CTA available to practitioners in the field. The book
focuses on cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence
analyses of aviation tasks. It is designed to help readers identify
and solve specific design and training problems, in the flight
deck, air traffic control and operations contexts. Distilling
experience and guidelines from the best aviation cognitive analyses
in accessible form, it is the first comprehensive volume on CTA,
and is written for practitioners of cognitive analysis in aviation.
It provides an overview of analyses to date; methods of data
collection; and recommendations for designing and conducting CTA
for use in instructional design, systems development, and
evaluation. The first part of the book provides the principles and
foundations of CTA, describing traditional approaches to task
analysis and ways that cognitive analyses can be integrated with
the analysis and development processes. The next part details how
to: select the appropriate method or methods; determine job tasks
that can be trained for automatic performance; extract knowledge
structures; analyse mental models; and identify the decision-making
and problem-solving strategies associated with experienced job
performance. The authors also describe when to use and how to
design and conduct a cognitive task analysis; how to use CTA along
with traditional task analysis and ISD; and how to use CTA in
training program development and systems design, as well as in
personnel selection and evaluation. The current demand for
cognitive analyses makes this a timely volume for those in aviation
and, more generally, the industrial development and training
communities. Readers will find this a thorough presentation of
cognitive analyses in aviation and a highly usable guide in the
design, implementation and interpretation of CTA. The book will be
useful to instructional developers, aviation equipment and systems
designers, researchers, government regulatory personnel, human
resource managers, instructors, pilots, air traffic controllers,
and operations staff.
