Example: Endsley (2001) illustrates this for the task/job of piloting a civil aviation aircraft

The development and maintenance of SA occurs within an individual’s head

• The development and maintenance of SA occurs within an individual’s head

• The SA process (or SAS) is a generic continuous process/cycle that is impacted upon by many factors

• These factors will vary in their importance and influence depending upon the specific task and the individual undertaking that task

SA can be applied to teams as well as to individuals

• SA can be applied to teams as well as to individuals

• Caution needed here, as SA cannot be shared (it resides inside the individual’s head), but information can be shared

• We could be talking about:

• 1) The overlap in SA for the team
• 2) The SA of the team as moderated by the primary decision maker
• 3) The collective SA of the entire team
