Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.

Eggemeier, F. Thomas, Fisk, Arthur D., Robbins, Richard J. and Lawless, Michael T. (1988): Application of Automatic/Controlled Processing Theory to Training Tactical Command and Control Skills: II. Evaluation of a Task Analytic Methodology. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1232-1236.

Automatic/controlled processing theory maintains that the consistent components of complex skills improve most substantially with training, and that part-task training (PTT) programs should therefore focus on the consistent elements of skilled performance. As an initial step in applying automatic processing principles to PTT, Fisk and Eggemeier (1988) developed a task analytic methodology to identify the consistent components of complex skills. This paper describes the application of the methodology to operator skills required in a complex tactical command and control (C{squared}) system. The results indicate that the methodology can be used to identify a variety of consistent components of complex performance. Possible applications of PTT and issues for future training research are discussed.
