- Abstract
In the total assessment of any system, there is a need to consider that the human is capable of a wide range of cognitive adaptations in managing system anomalies. Yet, it is virtually impossible to anticipate all of these potential adaptations. One solution is to focus on the cognitive demands of the system and to determine the minimum capacity in each cognitive skill the person must have to meet those demands. This approach demands an integrated cognitive assessment involving definition of the type and level of cognitive skills required by the system, and evaluation of the impact of various levels of human cognitive capacity on system performance. This approach has been instantiated in several efforts supported by the Department of Defense and NASA. It involves a taxonomy of cognitive skills, an armory of cognitive tests, and mathematical treatments to relate a person's capacity to system demands.
