2.7.3. Optimizing Human Performance Flashcards
Optimizing human performance is defined as what?
Optimizing human performance is defined as the process of applying knowledge, skills, and emerging technologies to improve and preserve the capabilities of DoD personnel to execute essential tasks.
What is the OODA loop?
OODA Loop - a concept applied to combat operations designed by USAF COL, John Boyd. Maximizing speed of OODA loop is key.
What does OODA stand for?
Observe: collection of data
Orient: the analysis and synthesis of data
Decide: course of action
Act: on decision. Actions may require feedback to the observe portion
How do we optimize OODA?!
We want to optimize OODA loop by: improving observation, facilitating superior orientation, expedite decision making, ensure optimal physical performance
Steps to optimizing OODA specifically:
analyze performance task and OODA Loop
analyze intrinsic capabilities
analyze extrinsic factors
Identify potential HPO strategies
implement HPO strategies
Components of physical fitness
Socioemotional
Physical
Cognitive
What are the types of human performance optimization stages for the military?
- enhancement (pre-deployment)
use of performance technologies to produce an improvement above baseline - sustainment (deployment)
keep performance at baseline - restoration (post-deployment)
return degraded performance back to baseline
What tools do we have to optimize human performance besides flash cards on brainscape?
- Drugs
- Techniques
- Machines
- Genes
What is CHAMP?
USU Consortium for health and military performance (CHAMP)
What does CHAMP consist of?
- a group of educators, health professionals and researchers dedicated to communication, cooperation and collaboration across boundaries to
- Human Performance Resource center (online)
