Breakout Groups

1. Breakout Groups Please consider the following topics for your area: • Key models and findings from psychology • Opportunities  • Challenges per psychological understanding • Challenges per computation, display, HCI • Taking optimistic & pessimistic views • Evaluation metrics

2. Breakout Groups • Key models and findings from psychology Regarding the potential for "augmenting cognition,” what are key relevant theories, models, or empirical results on human limitations or biases in this area? Are the results well characterized, credible, quantitative? • Opportunities What are some key opportunities for harnessing computer-based methods, components, and procedures, for bolstering cognition in light of biases and/or limitations? • Challenges per psychological understanding What are some concerns with regard to the adequacy of knowledge about the relevant psychology and information processing. What additional basic psychological and theoretical work is required? What kind of applied testing or HCI experiments are required? What studies would be most valuable? 

3. Breakout Groups • Challenges per computation, display, HCI What are some potential challenges with regard to the required computational methods, prowess to support the different forms of augmentation you have discussed?  • Taking an optimistic perspective In a great outcome, what potential approaches to augmenting people's abilities might be developed? What kind of efficiencies might be gained if this was done well?  • Taking a pessimistic perspective What are some caveats about attempting to augment cognition in this arena? What dangers regarding efforts in this area should we be most sensitive to?  • Evaluation metrics What kind of metrics would you suggest for evaluating the success of augmented cognition efforts?
