Abstract

A team is a heterogeneous group of team members, each with their own roles and responsibilities, who come together to achieve a common goal.  Team cognition is the joint processing of information by a team that produces knowledge and actions, beyond what an individual could produce. Nancy J. Cooke will provide examples of some of the team cognition research conducted over the last 30 years that led to the theory of Interactive Team Cognition.  In addition, Cooke will suggest some future directions for this work that include a focus on team-level measurement and extension of team cognition to human, artificial intelligence, and robot teaming.
