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.
