The Cognitive
Engineering and Decision Making Technical Group (CEDM-TG) of
the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society is focused on the
study of human decision making and cognition and the
application of this knowledge to the design and development
of systems and training programs in a wide variety of
domains.
Descriptive views
of how people perform decision making and cognitive
activities (including situation conception and problem
definition through choice of action) given real-world
situations, goals and constraints.
Models,
processes, and characteristics of human decision making
and cognition, alone and in conjunction with other
individuals and/or with intelligent systems.
Technologies for
assisting, modifying or supplanting human decision
making
Training
strategies and programs for influencing or assisting
human decision making and cognitive tasks.
The CEDM-TG was formed to
provide an integrated forum within the HFES for bringing
together relevant research on cognitive engineering and
human decision making and the development of systems for
supporting decision making and cognition in a wide variety
of areas.
To encourage
research on human cognition and decision making and its
application to the design of systems and training
programs.
To disseminate
information, promote technical interchange and encourage
education on cognitive engineering and decision making.
To promote growth
in the area of cognitive engineering and decision making
research within the human factors profession.
