59. Identification of Cognitive Control Modes via Physiological Detection
SessionPoster Session 1
DescriptionLoss of situational awareness is an important concern in military operations, especially those with long durations and increasingly automated features. Previous research by Mica Endsley and others have identified the "human out of the loop" problem, in which increased automation oftentimes inadvertently degrades operator situational awareness in an attempt to reduce cognitive workload. The current work hypothesizes that a major factor in maintaining high level situational awareness is the type of cognitive control employed by operators. It is well established that the brain employs 2 main modes for the recruitment of attentional control, proactive and reactive, respectively. Under Todd Braver's Dual Mechanisms of Cognitive Control Theory, the human out of the loop situation would tend to bias people toward a reactive mode. In order to quantify cognitive control mode, a new method is required to unobtrusively detect control.
