Dynamic Measures of Team Adaptation.

Human factors·2025

Experienced teams using Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) demonstrated superior performance and fewer errors. Team cognition and interactions effectively transfer across tasks, highlighting the value of prior command-and-control experience.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Team Performance

Background:

  • Team cognition is crucial for complex, dynamic environments.
  • Understanding how prior experience influences team performance in Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations is vital.
  • Command-and-control (C2) settings require high levels of team coordination and cognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine team cognition in experienced versus inexperienced command-and-control teams operating a UAV simulation.
  • To investigate the transfer of team experience across different tasks.
  • To identify factors distinguishing high-performing teams.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of five experienced 3-person C2 teams with ten inexperienced teams in a UAV simulation.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Each team completed five 40-minute missions requiring interdependent control of a UAV for reconnaissance.
  • Data collected included team performance metrics, process-related knowledge errors, team process ratings, and communication analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Experienced teams significantly outperformed inexperienced teams.
    • Experienced teams exhibited fewer errors in process-related training knowledge.
    • Superior team process ratings and fewer coordination-related utterances were observed in experienced teams.

    Conclusions:

    • Team cognition is an emergent property of member interactions.
    • Effective team interactions are key differentiators of high-performing teams.
    • Team interaction patterns and cognition can transfer across different tasks, benefiting from prior C2 experience.
