Working Minds: A Practitioner's Guide to Cognitive Task Analysis (Mit Press)

This is a really helpful book. I've read quite a bit about Naturalistic Decision Making and CTA's so I was already familiar with most of the concepts. As with any relatively complex subject there is often a large gap between what's in the textbooks and how things actually happen in the field. This book is much more of a "how-to-do-it" guide than any others I've read. It is a very easy read and an excellent introduction to the subject.

Very interesting read. As a person involved in creating educational content the question always presents itself - how do we know we have extracted the necessary and essential knowedlge from the domain expert. Which begs the questions how do you go about extracting that informantion. Working Minds helps one understand the latest thoughts on these issues.

Really well written guide for practitioners. However, the diagrams in the Kindle version are so low resolution that they are barely readable.

A great book for all CTA practitioners and researchers. If you are thinking of doing CTA as your thesis, this is a book that you must have!

I have only glanced through the book so far, but am impressed with the few passages I viewed. Cognitive task analysis may seem a simple process until it is undertaken and then the micro-detail is encountered. This book looks to explore the micro-detail and explain the fundamentals of CTA.

Good first reference could be more to the point for a practitioner

Well written to understand a complex process. Recommended for anyone in the process of exploring how to train for more rapid expertise development .

Helpful and clear. The website they reference in the book is also very helpful http://ihmc.us/

As an avid reader of cognitive psychology subjects and a consultant with an interest in improving workplace performance I was looking forward to reading about CTA, especially from one of the giants of cognitive psychology, Klein, how wrong I was.A shopping list of over 100 possible ways to perform a CTA. Page after page of flaky science and very little real evidences practical application, other than his often quoted work on firemen, later I was deflated.By their own admission this is not an accepted field within psychology, I can see why, and this book read like a plea and selling job to budding psychologists to join their flock.CTA may be the employee analysis science of the future but after reading this book I do not see that happening anytime soon

It was a really good quality!

Lived up to my expectations
