Complex Cognition, papers by Lisanne Bainbridge

  In this review, there are 3 main groups of topics. 1.  Introduction .  Basic element,  sources of data which meet cognitive needs. 2.  The cognitive processing element .  Meeting an information need : 3a.  by finding it in the environment . 3b.  from a stored knowledge base . 3c.  by working through a 'routine' , or referring to the result of using a routine elsewhere. 3d.  more on knowledge bases . Choosing  what  to do. 4.  Sequences of activity, introduction to the 'overview' . 5.  'Sequencers' .  6.  Working storage.   Choosing  how  to do it. 7. Choosing the method used to meet a task need :  using meta-knowledge, implications for mental workload . 8.  Learning and modes of processing  : some issues and possibilities. 9.  Final comments . References . Box Element : References Building up behavioural complexity from a cognitive processing element Lisanne Bai...

  Topics in this section : 6.1.  Interdependencies of ’sequencers’. 6.2.  Working storage as a construct. 6.2.1. Relation to task, relations between variables. 6.2.2. Multidimensional constructs. 6.3. Mechanism - working storage structured by its place in task thinking. 6.4. Updating the data in working storage. 6.4.1.  Updating the main control state. 6.4.2.  Updating the data on the general state of the process. 6.4.3.  Handling interrupts.  6.5.  Working storage capacity. Section 6 : Working storage Building up behavioural complexity from a cognitive processing element. Lisanne Bainbridge This Section focusses on what the operator knows about the current state of the task they are doing, which includes the recent past and near future.   The first part is about what can be in this working storage (which may be called the 'mental picture'), and what is the mechanism for keeping it in mind. Then there are comments on up...
