Sociocognitive or socio-cognitive is a term is especially used when complex cognitive and social properties are reciprocally connected and essential for a given problem.
It has been used in academic literature with three different meanings:[1]
- It can indicate a branch of science, engineering or technology, such as socio-cognitive research, or socio-cognitive interactions,
- It can refer to the integration of the cognitive and social properties of systems, processes, functions, as well as models, or
- It can describe how processes of group formation effect cognition, studied in cognitive sociology.
Socio-cognitive engineering
Socio-cognitive research is human factor and socio-organizational factor based, and assumes an integrated knowledge engineering, environment and business modeling perspective, therefore it is not social cognition which rather is a branch of psychology focused on how people process social information.
Socio-cognitive engineering (SCE) includes a set of theoretical interdisciplinary frameworks, methodologies, methods and software tools for the design of human centred technologies,[2] as well as, for the improvement of large complex human-technology systems.
Both above approaches are applicable for the identification and design of a computer-based semi-/proto-Intelligent Decision Support Systems (IDSS),[3] for the operators and managers of large socially critical systems, for high-risk tasks, such as different types of emergency and disaster management, where human errors and socio-cognitive organization vulnerability can be the cause of serious losses.[4]
