Judgement and Decision Making in Dynamic Tasks

Abstract

This research note presents a theory of task conditions on the grounds that such a theory is a prerequisite for studying dynamic decision making. The principal features of the theory are: a) a task-cognition inducement principle, b) a distinction drawn between surface and depth characteristics of tasks, and c) a task continuum index. Also presented is a theory of cognition in dynamic tasks, the main features of which are a cognitive continuum index set in parallel with the continuum index, and a description of the role of pattern seeking and functional-relation seeking in dynamic tasks. The practical consequences for both designers and operators are indicated.
