Abstract:The aim of this thesis is to examine how individuals manage workload in complex environments. I used formal models of decision making, known as evidence accumulation models, to quantify how individuals adapt in response to workload. The models assume that the individual samples evidence from the environment until a threshold amount of evidence is accumulated, triggering an overt response. The models can quantify latent cognitive processes that are relevant to workload, such as the rate of information processin… Show more
