Cognitive factors in distributed design

Computers in Industry, 2002
Engineering design is being carried out by distributed design teams in an effort to use expert human resources more efficiently. The support needs of distributed design are reviewed from a cognitive viewpoint using five broad categories: design methodology, collaboration, teamwork, knowledge management and design representation.

Distributed Cognition in Geriatric Telepsychiatry

2012 45th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2012
We report on a geriatric telepsychiatry consultation service provided by a tertiary-care hospital to rural nursing homes located up to a few hours' drive away. Our case study analysis applies distributed cognition theory to highlight the interplay of social, structural, and temporal distribution of cognitive tasks associated with the telepsych service.

Distributed Cognition in Flight Operations

2013
Human Factors is no longer simply concerned with the design of equipment and work stations. This old view is being superseded by a systems-based approach which examines all aspects of the working environment and makes little or no attempt to separate the human, machine and task environment.
