Los Angeles, Calif. Creative Technologies, Inc., was selected by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), as part of the SET/Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) team, to produce an experimental training game. The game will be designed to train participants and measure their proficiency in recognizing and mitigating cognitive biases that commonly affect intelligence analysis. The program will provide a basis for experimental repeatability and independent validation of effects, and identify critical elements of design for effective analytic training in Serious Games. The cognitive biases of interest that will be examined include: (1) Confirmation Bias, (2) Fundamental Attribution Error, (3) Bias Blind Spot, (4) Anchoring Bias, (5) Representativeness Bias, and (6) Projection Bias.
