School of Psychological Science Complex Decision Research Group Research Program - Overview
Overview We take an iterative approach to our research: findings from field research providing the basis for selecting the specific manipulations adopted in our laboratory-based experiments, and findings from experimental manipulations directing our field based observational protocols. In our laboratory research, we investigate core aspects of dynamic decision making, using computer-simulated methodology. The research carried out under the Defense Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) – University of Melbourne research agreements has used the computer-simulated firefighting program, Networked Fire Chief as the research platform. From controlled experiments, combined with field research using our Helmet-mounted video recording system, we have developed a conceptual model of the key psychological processes involved in the decision making control of complex, multi-person, dynamic systems called the Adaptive Control Model. This model implies that a decision maker’s focus of concern is ongoing level of control over the task environment, rather than on making specific decisions. Key issues arising from the work so far include:
