ABSTRACT
Understanding or comprehending what is happening from moment to moment
has been studied under the rubrics of discourse processing when it
comes to reading a story and situation awareness when we are operating
in a dynamic environment. I will report on a variety of studies in
dynamic domains such as air traffic control and critical care nursing.
A variety of empirical studies led me to a view of dynamic
environments based on discourse processing models but supplemented
with strategic management processes.
