Cognitive Task Analysis of the Battalion Level Visualization Process
Abstract
This technical report describes the results of a cognitive task analysis to identify important skill areas associated with visualization at the battalion level of command. The analysis consisted of a review of current U.S. Army doctrinal literature, a review of battalion visualization from a psychological perspective, and a series of interviews with military officers having recent combat experience in either a command position or as a battalion Operations Officer or Executive Officer. Bases on findings from the cognitive task analysis, 11 skill areas were identified as potential focal points for future training development. The findings were used to design and develop exemplar training exercises for selected skills. This report documents findings and recommendations from the cognitive task analysis, and describes the design, development, and field test of exemplar training vignettes used to evaluate the cognitive task analysis findings and recommended training methods.
