Item An Exploration of Cognitive Processes in Adaptive Performance(2011-07-11) Cracraft, Meredith L.; Cracraft, Meredith L.; Zaccaro, Stephen J.This research provides insight into the roles that mental models, emotion control, and metacognition play in adaptive performance. Empirical support was found for a model of the adaptive performance process, which allows for delineating how cognitive individual differences and other cognitive structures, such as mental models, contribute to performance in non-routine environments. This research pinpoints where mental models, emotion control, and metacognition have the greatest impact in the process of adapting, rather than only focusing on whether these variables impact the performance outcome. Working memory capacity was highlighted as an individual difference variable, but support was not found for its role in the performance process.
