Perspectives on cognitive task analysis

Descripción

This comprehensive history of task analysis charts its origins from the earliest applied psychology through to modern forms of task analysis that focus on the study of cognitive work. Through this detailed historical analysis, it is made apparent how task analysis has always been cognitive. Chapters cover the histories, key ideas, and contributions to the methodology of a number of communities of practice, including: sociotechnics, European work analysis, naturalistic decision making, cognitive systems engineering, ethnography, and human factors.--From publisher's description.
