Computer-simulated scenarios have been part of psychological research on problem
solving for more than 40 years. The shift in emphasis from simple toy problems to complex …

Mental models influence how individuals think and act in relation to their external
environment and have been identified as leverage points to address sustainability …

Intelligence and complex problem solving (CPS) are two strongly overlapping constructs. In
contrast to conventional intelligence tests, CPS-assessments provide process data …

In this paper we argue that a synthesis of findings across the various sub-areas of research
in complex problem solving and consequently progress in theory building is hampered by …

In this paper, we present a competency model for complex problem solving (CPS) by
building on the categories of Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other components (KSAO) …

Although individual differences in complex problem solving (CPS) are well–established,
relatively little is known about the process demands that are common to different dynamic …

Metacognition, the ability to monitor and evaluate our own cognitive processes, confers
advantages to individuals and their own judgment. A more recent hypothesis, however …

This paper reflects on Dietrich Dörner's observation that participants in complex dynamic
control tasks exhibit a" tendency to economize", that is, they tend to minimize cognitive effort …

Predicting the development of dynamic processes is vital in many areas of life. Previous
findings are inconclusive as to whether higher working memory capacity (WMC) is always …

The abilities to predict, explain, and control might arise out of operations on a common
underlying representation or, conversely, from independent cognitive processes. We …
