Abstract
In most industrial systems, people not only work as individuals, but also a member of one or more teams. This research investigates the effect of human mental workload and metacognition between an individual and team-based dynamic control task. Although advanced technology provides the ability to develop more effective training approaches to inexperienced workers, building effective team training methods is an unremitting research area. In this research, a human-in-the-loop simulation experiment was conducted to compare human mental workload between individual-based and team-based groups and to reveal the relationship between metacognition and human mental workload. Within the Anti-Air warfare Coordinator (AAWC) simulation domain, the experimental group was exposed to a team-based environment, while the control group conducted the same task in an individual-based environment. Our results show that different metacognitive monitoring processes exist between team-based and individual-based dynamic control tasks. Based on these, we suggest a possible metacognitive framework in dynamic control tasks.
