SCALE: Shared Cognitive Architectures for Long-term Exploration

Last Published: 04/20/22 11:43:24 AM (Central)

Task Book: Entry
Principal Investigator: DeChurch, Leslie

Short Title: SCALE: Shared Mental Models

Responsible HRP Element: Human Factors and Behavioral Performance

Collaborating Org(s):

Funding Status: Active - Currently funded and in progress

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:
This research seeks to:
1. Develop a computational model of shared cognitive architectures (SCA) that accounts for
the role of the conceptual aspects of long duration space exploration (LDSE), the antecedents of SCA (e.g. team member characteristics, contextual factors, interventions), and consequences of SCA (e.g. norms, coordination, performance)
2. Devise and test a dashboard to unobtrusively identify and predict shifts in SCA that indicate increased risks, using data captured in meta-analysis, historiometric analysis, text analysis, virtual experiments, and a series of studies conducted in settings analogous to LDSE.
3. Develop and validate countermeasures based on dashboard predictions (e.g., composition and training of members of the space exploration multiteam system, including crew members, ground control, and other key boundary spanners).

Mappings

Risk of Performance and Behavioral Health Decrements Due to Inadequate Cooperation, Coordination, Communication, and Psychosocial Adaptation within a Team

Team-101: We need to understand the key threats, indicators, and evolution of the team throughout its life cycle for shifting autonomy and interface with automation in increasingly earth independent, long duration exploration missions.

Team-103: We need to identify psychological and psychosocial factors, measures, and combinations thereof for use in selecting individuals and composing highly effective crews most likely to maintain team function during shifting autonomy in increasingly earth independent, long duration exploration missions.

Team-104: We need to identify validated ground-based and in-flight training methods for both preparatory and sustaining team function during shifting autonomy in increasingly earth independent, long duration exploration missions.
