This research uses a psychological framework to study the impact of individual differences in cognitive and non-cognitive abilities on team performance. Cognitive and social psychology theory-driven experiments will assess individual differences in cognitive and non-cognitive abilities and relate them to
a) individual performance on dynamic, interactive team tasks and
b) team task performance as a whole.

This research will expand measures used to select sailors to serve in the 21st Century Navy and will provide information useful for classification of sailors into jobs that will require team-intensive skills and for structuring teams according to team-member abilities.
