Editorial Review:
Making Decisions Under Stress: Implications for Individual and Team Training represents the culmination of a 7-year research project called TADMUS (Tactical Decision Making Under Stress). The goal of the program, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, was to develop training, simulation, decision support, and display principles that would help to mitigate the impact of stress on decision making. The volume outlines the overall background, research approach, and paradigm employed by TADMUS, with specific focus on research regarding how to train decision making at the individual and team levels-especially how to provide training that will prepare individuals to operate in complex team environments. The chapters explore complex, realistic tasks with experienced Navy participants. Throughout the book, the authors explore the research implications and the lessons learned that may guide those interested in applying results of the research in operational environments. Although TADMUS focused on a military decision-making environment, it's program of research has applicability across a variety of task environments that pose similar demands on human operators.

Rating: - So you want a high performance team?
Not the easiest book to get through if you're not a psychologist, it nevertheless provides interesting and useful insight for teams operating in high tempo environments. Although TADMUS was geared towards dangerous, high stakes professions, its findings are applicable to teams who do not regular face life-and-death situations. Especially useful --since so little is written on it elsewhere -- is the insight into effective team dynamics and how to train to development them. Leaders who profess or ... Read More
Rating: - Great resource for developers
One of the best training resources I have encountered that specifically addresses strategies and techniques for developing training systems for people working in stressful environments. The compilation is mostly concise, well edited and easy to absorb. Within each paper, each author provides lessons learned from their experience also makes the book very usable as a reference. The text does a good job of outlining the USN's Tactical Decision Making Under Stress (TADMUS) project, and provides ... Read More
