About this title

Synopsis

Many different cognitive research approaches have been generated to explore fields of practice where mutual teamwork is present and emergent. Results have shown subtle yet significant findings on how humans actually work together and when they transition from their own individual roles and niches into elements of teamwork and team-to-team work.

Fields of Practice and Applied Solutions within Distributed Team Cognition explores the advantages of teams and shows how researchers can obtain a deep understanding of users/teams that are entrenched in a particular field. Interdisciplinary perspectives and transformative intersections are provided.

Features

• Delineates contextual nuances of socio-technical environments as influencers of team cognition
• Provides quantitative/qualitative perspectives of distributed team cognition by demonstrating in situ interactions
• Reviews applied teamwork for fields of practice in medicine, cybersecurity, education, aviation, and manufacturing
• Generates practical examples of distributed work and how cognition develops across teams using technologies
• Specifies applied solutions through technologies such as robots, agents, games, and social networks
