Systems Versus Linear Thinking
In 2016, 4-VA awarded Dr. Tripp Shealy, Dr. Elise Barrella, Dr. Leidy Klotz, and Dr. Robin K. Panneton a grant called Systems versus linear thinking: measuring cognitive network coordination for tasks about sustainability. Solving sustainability challenges like poverty, climate change, and water availability will require a new way of thinking. This research provides a novel method to measure the type of thinking required to solve these problems and to help us get to there more quickly.
