Beckschi, Peter F. and Redding, Richard E. (1988): Myth and Reality in Technology Transfer: The Client-Consultant Relationship in Context. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 729-733.

“Technology transfer is a process often obscured by different styles of human interaction which affect the transfer of information, skills and behaviors. Unless the human factors aspects of the client-consultant relationship are addressed, the process can result in frustrated recipients than can least afford failure, particularly in developing countries. Technology transfer is oftentimes sabotaged at an early stage without any hope of achieving project objectives. The authors contend that early model development and planning in the consultation phase will ameliorate many obstacles to transfer. A consulting model for technology transfer which incorporates systemic, cognitive, and behavioral considerations is proposed.”

Ryder, Joan M., Redding, Richard E. and Beckschi, Peter F. (1987): Training Development for Complex Cognitive Tasks. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1261-1265.

“This study evaluated current training methodologies, particularly Instructional Systems Development (ISD), and recent developments in cognitive science to determine how training procedures should be modified to support training for tasks which require complex cognitive skills. We content that ISD is still viable if procedures are developed for the training of cognitive skills. An important component of ISD which needs to be modified to support training of cognitive skills is the task analysis. We discuss the need for integrating efficient and cost-effective cognitive task analysis methodologies with traditional analysis methods.”
