Turnage, Janet J. and Lane, Norman E. (1987): The Use of Surrogate Techniques for the Measurement of Team Performance. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 638-642.

This paper describes shortcomings in current team performance measurement methodologies, discusses emerging observational and automated measurement techniques, and describes surrogate measurement concepts in the context of team performance. Research using surrogate approaches is suggested to improve the reliability of team assessment and to increase the sensitivity of team measures to conditions that are likely to improve or degrade team performance.

McBride, Dennis K., Lambert, Joseph V. and Lane, Norman E. (1985): The Development of a Standardized, Computer-Based Abbreviation Algorithm. In Behaviour and Information Technology, 4 (3) pp. 239-247.

Based upon three simple assumptions about the information-conveying properties of consonants, vowels, syllables and the relative positions of letters and letter groups within parent words, a prototype abbreviation-generating algorithm was constructed. It was reasoned, based on previous studies (Streeter et al. 1980, Reber 1976) and because of the invariant rules which are fundamental to the algorithm, that abbreviations produced by the algorithm should be more readily decoded than naturally produced, popular abbreviations. Experiment I revealed that popular abbreviations were more easily reconstructed than were their ruled-based counterparts, although the margin was reliable only for abbreviations of parent words of relatively long letter length. Results of experiment II demonstrated that when feedback was provided to the subject following each reconstruction, accuracy in decoding the algorithm abbreviations improved with practice. No improvement was observed for subjects who were not provided knowledge of performance. The parent words chosen for study were sampled from a population of commonly used, general communication terms. Consideration is given to the effectiveness of ruled-based procedures when applied to hierarchically defined contexts, as in labelling instrumentation in modern aircraft cockpits and in producing abbreviated commands for advanced, computer-interactive systems. The findings provide an empirical foundation for continued development of the algorithm.
