Summary The objective of this proposal is to inform and assist the Modeling and Simulation (M&S) community to more accurately represent Soldier behavior, specifically by exploring the cognitive lenses of individual decision makers. The study will involve recording decision making and cognitive performance of members of the military while they are subjected to deliberate changes to their individual biases and mental models or lenses. The results of this study will allow us to further refine the Dynamic Model of Situated Cognition, ultimately resulting in the incorporation of more realistic and accurate representations of human behavior in military modeling and simulation efforts.
