This course will introduce students to the key conceptual and methodological elements of Cognitive Task Analysis, which can be used to identify the knowledge and skills required for the performance of a complex task. The focus will be on the specification of covert cognitive processes and the integration of those with overt behaviors into a model of task performance. Students will learn knowledge elicitation techniques, such as verbal think aloud protocol, used to uncover the cognitive structures and processes involved in expert performance of a task. Students also will practice generating cognitive models/knowledge representations of tasks relevant to their design area.
