Research abstract
GREATER UNDERSTANDING IS NEEDED TO COGNITIVE PROCESSES WHICH ARE MOST AFFECTED BY UNCERTAINTY AND TIME STRESS. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A FRAMEWORK OF COGNITIVE STRUCTURES AND PROCESSES RELATED TO DECISION MAKING UNDER UNCERTAINTY AND TIME STRESS, SELECT AN APPROPRIATE ARMY TESTBED, AND CONDUCT A SERIES OF SMALL EXPERIMENTS. IN OUR EXPERIMENTAL PLAN, WE DISTINGUISH AMONG DIFFERENT FORMS OF UNCERTAINTY AND THEIR RELATIONS TO MODELS OF COGNITIVE STRUCTURES AND PROCESSES, AND TO ESTABLISHED COGNITIVE SHORTCOMINGS AND BIASES.
