The nature of the IA’s task, coupled with the sheer volume of information to be processed creates the type of time-critical decision making in a complex, dynamic environment conducive to the employment of cognitive heuristic principles and their resulting biases; potentially impacting the quality of the decisions made by the IA. Thus there is a need to develop support systems to mitigate the potential biases, and aid the analyst (Swift & Minardi, 2006). While decision support tools such as algorithms are currently being developed, they are presently not employed by IA’s in field settings (Swift, 2006). Clearly, the dearth of tools indicates further work is needed to develop effective decision support methods to relieve the cognitive demands of the IA’s task.
