Abstract

A complete understanding of decision-making in military domains requires gathering insights from several fields of study. To make the task tractable, here we consider a specific example of short-term tactical decisions under uncertainty made by the military at sea. Through this lens, we sketch out relevant literature from three psychological tasks each underpinned by decision-making processes: categorisation, communication and choice. From the literature, we note two general cognitive tendencies that emerge across all three stages: the effect of cognitive load and individual differences. Drawing on these tendencies, we recommend strategies, tools and future research that could improve performance in military domains – but, by extension, would also generalise to other high-stakes contexts. In so doing, we show the extent to which domain general properties of high order cognition are sufficient in explaining behaviours in domain specific contexts.

应用分类、沟通和动态决策的见解:一个“简单”海上军事决策的案例研究
全面了解军事领域的决策需要从几个研究领域收集见解。为了使任务易于处理,这里我们考虑一个具体的例子,即海上军队在不确定性下做出的短期战术决策。通过这个镜头,我们从三个心理任务中勾勒出相关文献,每个任务都以决策过程为基础:分类、沟通和选择。从文献中,我们注意到在这三个阶段中出现了两种普遍的认知趋势:认知负荷的影响和个体差异。根据这些趋势,我们推荐的策略、工具和未来的研究可以提高军事领域的表现,但也可以推广到其他高风险环境。通过这样做,我们展示了高阶认知的领域一般属性在多大程度上足以解释领域特定上下文中的行为。

期刊介绍: Review of General Psychology seeks to publish innovative theoretical, conceptual, or methodological articles that cross-cut the traditional subdisciplines of psychology. The journal contains articles that advance theory, evaluate and integrate research literatures, provide a new historical analysis, or discuss new methodological developments in psychology as a whole. Review of General Psychology is especially interested in articles that bridge gaps between subdisciplines in psychology as well as related fields or that focus on topics that transcend traditional subdisciplinary boundaries.
