Abstract

Decision making in critical situations is a complex process. There are many processes to consider. This paper describes a theoretical approach to researching attentional processes and automatic unconscious processes in terms of metacognition. An application of the approach is presented to explain decision making and metacognition as a solution for ineffective cognitive biases during a crisis situation. Evidence is presented from studies on neuropsychology, cognitive control, and cognitive architectures. An application of the recently formulated semiotic methodology is implemented that allows the design of conceptual models of Attention as Action. The formulation of a general model of attentional processes is based on a set of rules. The crisis phenomenon, as the crisis situation trigger, is semiotically described and applied as insight for a crisis information system design that prompts its users toward self-aware internal decision making. The research conducted evidently shows how the approach can explain the design of several cognitive architectures. Pointing toward metacognition as a solution to a crisis phenomenon and cognitive biases, the paper shows that understanding human cognitive and behavioral processes can significantly improve management in a critical infrastructure crisis situation.
通过注意力认知模型解释危机局势
危急情况下的决策是一个复杂的过程。有许多过程需要考虑。本文介绍了从元认知角度研究注意过程和自动无意识过程的理论方法。本文介绍了该方法的应用,以解释决策和元认知作为危机情况下无效认知偏差的解决方案。从神经心理学、认知控制和认知结构的研究中提出了证据。应用最近制定的符号学方法,可以设计 "注意力即行动 "的概念模型。注意力过程的一般模型是基于一系列规则制定的。危机现象作为危机情况的触发因素,通过符号学方法进行了描述,并将其应用于危机信息系统的设计中,从而促使用户做出具有自我意识的内部决策。所进行的研究清楚地表明,这种方法可以解释若干认知架构的设计。论文指出,元认知是解决危机现象和认知偏差的一种方法,它表明,了解人类的认知和行为过程可以显著改善关键基础设施危机情况下的管理。
