Team collaboration involves many operational tasks such as team decision-making or course of action selection, developing shared understanding, and intelligence analysis. These operational tasks must be performed in many situations, often under severe time pressure, with information and knowledge uncertainty, large amounts of dynamic information and across different team characteristics. Recent research in this area has focused on various aspects of human collaborative decision-making and the underlying cognitive processes while describing those processes at different levels of detail, making it difficult to compare research results. The theoretical construct of 'macrocognition in teams' was developed to facilitate cognitive research in team collaboration, which will enable a common level of understanding when defining, measuring and discussing the cognitive processes in team collaboration. Macrocognition is defined as both the internalized and externalized mental processes employed by team members in complex, one-of-a-kind, collaborative problem solving. Macrocognition in Teams provides readers with a greater understanding of the macrocognitive processes which support collaborative team activity, showcasing current research, theories, methodologies and tools. It will be of direct relevance to academics, researchers and practitioners interested in group/team interaction, performance, development and training.

Dr Michael P Letsky is currently Program Officer for the Collaboration and Knowledge Interoperability Program at the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Arlington, Virginia. He manages a research program of academic grants and innovative small business projects seeking to understand team cognition and team performance. He previously worked for the Army Research Institute of the Behavioral and Social Sciences where he developed their long range strategic research plan and also served on the Army Science Board on Highly Maneuverable Forces. Dr. Letsky's education includes a B.S. in Electrical Engineering (Northeastern University), an MBA and DBA in Operations Research (George Washington University). Norman Warner, Ph.D. is a senior scientist at the Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland. His expertise is in Human Factors Engineering in the areas of automated decision support, human decision-making and team collaboration. Over the past 27 years, he has conducted research with a variety of organizations (i.e. Naval Air Systems Command, Office of Naval Research, Air Force, Army). He was awarded two patents in decision support technology and has published over 25 peer reviewed articles. Currently, his research focus is on understanding team decision-making and the cognitive mechanisms used during asynchronous, distributed team collaboration. Stephen M. Fiore, Ph.D. holds a joint appointment with the University of Central Florida's Institute for Simulation and Training and the Cognitive Sciences Program in the Department of Philosophy. He earned his Ph.D. degree (2000) in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh, Learning Research and Development Center. He maintains a multidisciplinary research interest that incorporates aspects of cognitive, social, and organizational psychology in the investigation of human behavior in individuals and small groups. Dr. Fiore has co-authored a number of scientific publications in the areas of learning, memor
