“…Some researchers have made special attempts to differentiate and independently assess individual and team performance (Kaplan & Barber, 1979;Turney & Cohen, 1931). Turney and Cohen (1981), in an investigation of Navy team training activities, prepared a list of five team tasks which were assessed separately from individual tasks.…”
