TEAM VERSUS INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE IN TACTICAL JUDGMENT,

Abstract

Three two-man teams of inexperienced operators were tested under conditions where the two team members worked together on the same scope. Their performance was compared with that of individual operators, both experienced and inexperienced, and with that of hypothetical teams in which individuals worked independently on different scopes. Results of these comparisons suggest that the two-man team of inexperienced operators working together on one scope can: (1) Perform more effectively than inexperienced individual operators, and just about as well as experienced individual operators. (2) Perform very nearly as well as two-man teams in which each operator works independently on his own scope. (Author)
