Federico, Pat-Anthony (1995): Individual Differences in Metacognitive Decision Making and Situation Assessment. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 878-881.

“28 senior naval officers (experts) and 48 junior naval officers (novices) (1) categorized tactical situations, (2) performed pairwise similarity ratings of them, and (3) represented their metacognitive models of tactical decision making as graphic weighted networks. Multidimensional scaling was conducted employing subjects' pairwise similarity ratings of tactical situations. Using classification measures and multidimensional weights as dependent variables and salient metacognitive link weights as independent variables, two one-way multivariate analyses of covariance between experts and novices and associated statistics were computed. Some of the results of canonical and regression analyses and product-moment correlations validated an important aspect of a metacognitive model of naturalistic schema-driven tactical decision making. They established significant associations of the two link weights connecting event sequence and similarity recognition to situation assessment with actual performances on the two experimental tasks requiring situation assessment. These findings demonstrated (1) the importance of event sequence and similarity recognition as necessary input to situation assessment, and (2) these two metacognitive links are significantly associated with the recognition of similar scenarios. Experts and novices did not differ significantly in (1) the number of categories, scenarios per category, and times to classify the tactical situations during sorting and resorting, and (2) their derived weights along the two dimensions, warfare tempo and reaction time, of the multidimensional scaling solution.”

Federico, Pat-Anthony (1993): Expert and Novice Differences in Recognizing Similar Situations. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 915-919.

“To test hypotheses regarding expert and novice differences in recognizing similar scenarios, 28 senior naval officers and 52 junior naval officers (1) classified tactical situations each of which appeared on a note card, (2) labeled every created cluster to convey a category description, and (3) signified their criteria for sorting scenarios. Principal-components and discriminant analyses, and associated statistics, established that when categorizing situations (1) experts are more context-dependent than novices, (2) experts and novices do not differ significantly in the number of schemes and scenarios per schema formed as well as in the access avenues ascribed for these schemes, (3) experts do not process scenarios at significantly deeper levels of analysis than novices, and (4) experts do not assign significantly more importance to conceptual aspects or deep structures than novices, and less importance to perceptual properties or surface features than novices.”

Federico, Pat-Anthony (1991): Recognition Measurement: Computer-Based and Paper-Based Methods. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 1326-1330.

“According to a within-subjects design, 83 naval pilots and flight officers were administered computer-based and paper-based tests to assess recognition of aircraft silhouettes in order to determine the relative reliabilities and validities of these two measurement modes. Estimates of internal consistencies, equivalences, and discriminative validities were computed for multiple performance measures. It was established that the relative reliabilities and validities derived for these two assessment schemes were contingent upon the employed multivariate measurement criteria, i.e., percentage correct responses, average response latency, and average degree of confidence in recognition judgments, as well as the statistical criteria used to ascertain the comparative quality of these two modes of testing.”
