The study begins by outlining the need for a task taxonomy and evaluating how factor analysis combined with experimental methods can provide a framework, noting past applications and anticipated benefits. The report reviews methodological questions about applying an experimental‑correlational approach to assess complex performance. The authors describe the general outlines of a research program to implement this approach. They conclude that experimental‑correlational studies hold promise for complex performance assessment but require a more extensive research program.
This report reviews and discusses a number of the methodological questions relating to the application of an experimental-correlational approach to the problem of assessing complex performance. The basic point of departure is the specification of the requirements for a task taxonomy and an analysis of the value of factor analytic investigations in combination with experimental methods in providing the framework for such a taxonomy. The way in which this approach has been applied in the past and the expected benefits of its successful implementation are discussed. It is concluded that experimental-correlational studies offer considerable promise in attacking complex performance but that a more extensive research program is needed. The general outlines of such a program is described.
