This podcast episode is from an informational webinar hosted by the Naturalistic Decision Making Association on December 15th, 2022.
The webinar outlines the purpose and parameters of CTA in E/Affect, a challenge sponsored by Schmidt Futures to strengthen the case for Cognitive Task Analysis in the workplace.
What is Cognitive Task Analysis?
CTA is a toolkit used by psychologists, researchers, and instructional designers to understand how high-performing professionals make complex decisions.
The deep insights revealed through CTA can be used to design training programs that help novices achieve proficiency at a rapid pace.
Two-Stage Program
The grant will support a year-long project carried out in two stages.
Stage 1: CTA in Effect [DEADLINE: February 15th, 2023]
The first stage will solicit case studies of CTA's ROI and award $10,000 in total prize money to the most compelling submissions.
Stage 2: CTA in Affect [To take place throughout 2023]
The second stage will identify high-value areas of opportunity for CTA-based training programs.
