Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop and validate an empirical method of situation awareness (SA) assessment for characterizing mental models in an inductive reasoning task. We conducted an experiment in which participants watched videos of two detective stories while simultaneously playing a simple shooting game. Participant SA was measured during the trial and post-trial measures included concept mapping and knowledge tests on the stories. A fuzzy inference model was developed to classify SA measurement outcomes according to patterns that matched with hypothesized types of mental models. The model type identification, based on fuzzy inference, revealed utility for predicting knowledge test performance. The fuzzy model outputs and SA measures were found to be independent from (or complementary to) concept map measures. The results provided empirical evidence of the utility of SA measures for inferring forms of mental models and predicting knowledge of an inductive reasoning task, independent of an existing assessment approach (concept mapping).
