Cognitive adaptation and its consequences: a test of cognitive continuum theory

The Role of Intuition in Ethical Decision Making

“…Here again, when the modality of information was presented more perceptually, as in the radar screen display, subjects tended to make decisions that were more intuitively based. As with Hammond et al (1987), Dunwoody et al (2000 found support for CCT suggesting people use intuitive and analytic processes contingently in line with the task characteristic dimensions of the CCT. Cooksey's (1996) suggestion that information modality can affect the type of processing a decision maker uses is supported empirically by both Hammond et al's (1987) test of CCT, and subsequent support of CCT by Dunwoody and his associates (2000).…”

Cognitive Continuum Theory in nursing decision‐making

“…It was found that the closer the engineers were on the cognitive mode predicted by the task structure, the better was their overall judgement performance. The relationship between tasks and modes of cognition was also demonstrated by Dunwoody et al. (2000) in their study with undergraduates.…”

Using the Lens Model and Cognitive Continuum Theory to Understand the Effects of Cognition on Phishing Victimization

“…Cognitive Continuum Theory Analyses. The TCI score was calculated using measures standard in the literature and that were available in the existing dataset (Dunwoody, Haarbauer, Mahan, Marino, & Chu-Chun, 2000;Hammond et al, 1987). These measures were the number of cues, the redundancy among cues (average inter-cue correlation), the standard deviation of cue weights, the degree of nonlinearity in the organizing principle, and the degree of certainty in the task system (R 2 e ).…”

“…The degree of nonlinearity in the organizing principle was measured by taking the difference in R 2 values of a linear and nonlinear model of the environment. TCI score calculation used a modified version of the equation presented by Dunwoody et al (2000), which standardized and averaged the measures:…”

“…This combined the measures listed above, where n was the number of cues, r was cue redundancy, S D was the standard deviation of cue weights in the criterion model, L was the degree of nonlinearity in the organizing principle, and R 2 was the degree of certainty in the task system. This work used a modified version of the Dunwoody et al (2000) TCI equation, because the original equation did not include the degree of nonlinearity in the organizing principle. It was important to include this measure to ensure all applicable task characteristics were included in the TCI score calculation.…”
