Urban, Julie M., Bowers, Clint A., Monday, Susan D. and Morgan, Jr. Ben B. (1993): Effects of Workload on Communication Processes in Decision Making Teams: An Empirical Study with Implications for Training. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 1233-1237.

Recent empirical studies of decision making in teams demonstrate that team structure and workload significantly influence team performance. In many operational environments, however, it is impossible to change these factors, even as a mechanism for enhancing team performance. Therefore, it is necessary to create training interventions that will optimize performance within existing team structures and workload levels. Several studies suggest that team processes are the most likely target for this type of intervention. The current investigation sought to develop a laboratory analogue of a common team structure (i.e., the "product team") and to assess the effects of high and low workload on team performance processes within this structure. The results suggest that different communication behaviors facilitate effective performance under low and high workload.

Thornton, Coleen, Braun, Curt, Bowers, Clint and Morgan, Jr. Ben B. (1992): Automation Effects in the Cockpit: A Low-Fidelity Investigation. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 30-34.

The effects of automation and task difficulty on flight performance, subjective and objective workload, and a problem solving task were investigated in a low fidelity flight simulator. Forty-eight, two-person crews flew two forty-five minute scenarios that required the crew to select and obtain relief supplies for delivery to a disaster site. Two levels of automation (i.e., presence or absence of an autopilot) and two levels of task difficulty (i.e., presence or absence of wind and turbulence) were combined to yield a 2 x 2 design. Twenty-four crews performed in both levels of automation and one level of task difficulty. Results indicated that although crews in the automated condition reported less subjective workload, only one of the three measures of flight performance was affected by automation. In contrast, objective workload, as measured by performance of a secondary task, was increased for the pilot in the automated condition. In addition, under high task difficulty, problem solving was worse in the automated condition than in the manual condition. The results are discussed in terms of their support of earlier hypothesized effects of automation in the cockpit.

Urban, Julie M., Bowers, Clint A., Morgan, Jr. Ben B., Braun, Curt C. and Kline, Paul B. (1992): The Effects of Hierarchical Structure and Workload on the Performance of Team and Individual Tasks. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 829-833.

This study represents an attempt to understand the individual and team level performance processes and communication of tactical decision making teams. The findings of a past study on decision making in dyads (Kleinman&Serfaty, 1989) was replicated and extended to include (a) larger teams (b) hierarchically structured teams (c) concurrent performance of team and individual tasks, and (d) verbal communication, in an attempt to enhance the generalizability of the research. The major findings of the current study differ from those reported by Kleinman and his colleagues (1989).
