Summary

Recognition skills refer to the ability of a practitioner to rapidly size up a situation and know what actions to take. We describe approaches to training recognition skills through the lens of naturalistic decision-making. Specifically, we link the design of training to key theories and constructs, including the recognition-primed decision model, which describes expert decision-making; the data-frame model of sensemaking, which describes how people make sense of a situation and act; and macrocognition, which encompasses complex cognitive activities such as problem solving, coordination, and anticipation. This chapter also describes the components of recognition skills to be trained and defines scenario-based training.
