Welcome And Agenda 

Welcome to this session on Chapter 11 of Volume Two of Measuring Hidden Dimensions of Human Systems (Laske, 2009; MHD V2) 

Republished as Appendix 1 in Advanced Systems-Level Problem Solving, Volume 2, (Laske, 2023; ASLPS V2) https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-40985-1

Today the session is on Chapter 11 of Volume Two, looking into the thinking of a particular individual, where Laske introduces the cognitive behavior graph that he discusses in regard to a cognitive interview. 

We will look at a client’s cognitive profile, taken from an interview. It could be a coaching session. A coaching session is not an interview, but it’s a linguistic process of a give and take between two people who have a dialogue; so it’s pretty close. 

Then we will look at this cognitive behavior graph that shows a person’s cognitive behavior in terms of the concepts they have used, and more specifically, the thought forms they have used and not used. 

And so we will arrive at some cognitive profile of the person called Donald, and we’ll ask certain questions about Donald. Is he in the right place? Can he really do what he has been hired to do? How can we coach him? And so forth.
