This study aims to better understand trust in humanautonomy teams, finding that trust is related to team performance. A wizard of oz methodology was used in an experiment to simulate an autonomous agent as a team member in a remotely piloted aircraft system environment. Specific focuses of the study were team performance and team social behaviors (specifically trust) of human-autonomy teams. Results indicate 1) that there are lower levels of trust in the autonomous agent in low performing teams than both medium and high performing teams, 2) there is a loss of trust in the autonomous agent across low, medium, and high performing teams over time, and 3) that in addition to the human team members indicating low levels of trust in the autonomous agent, both low and medium performing teams also indicated lower levels of trust in their human team members.

An introduction to the key topics in the cognitive science of cyber defence analysis including an overview of the challenges that exist and need to be faced in the field

Cyber analysis is a complex task that requires the coordination of a large sociotechnical system of human analysts working together with technology. Adequate situation awareness of such a complex system requires more than aggregate situation awareness of individuals. Teamwork in the form of communication and information coordination is at the heart of team-level situation awareness. In this position paper, we report observations from previously conducted cognitive task analyses that suggest that teamwork is lacking in many cyber analysis organizations. Communication is ineffective, team roles are inconsistent across organizations, reward structures and selection may thwart collaboration, and the environment is conducive to individual work. Suggestions for improving teamwork in the cyber domain are offered

One area of focus for the sport sciences is on the improvement of team process and performance. The analogies and similarities between military command‐andcontrol and American football serve as a useful bridge in which human factors, military, and industrial/organizational psychologist can share their findings in team process and performance with the sports sciences. The Cognitive Engineering on Team Tasks Laboratory (CERTT) has approached this problem with the development of a synthetic test‐bed replicating unmanned aerial vehicle command‐and‐control coordination in the lab. Results from the lab in the areas of performance, process, holistic vs. aggregative methods, training, and communication and skill retention are used to suggest future directions in improving team performance in football
