Effects of load stressors, cognitive complexity and type A coronary prone behavior on visual-motor task performance
Examining impacts of high-level stress in a complex environment
The decisions made by corporate-level executives and by senior military personnel can have major implications for future events and [outcomes]. [Decisions] which might be affected by workload and time pressure should be optimized wherever and whenever possible.
Dr. Streufert and collaborators designed a cognitive simulation study as a pioneering foray into the nature of stress and personality types at the “executive" level. This research is considered seminal as research at that time typically [did] not consider the complex problems and environments with which high-level decision-makers are frequently faced.
