The initial report of the OIDAP Work Taxonomy Subcommittee will address three topics. The first topic, fundamentals of work analysis, will attempt to provide all panel members with a common frame of reference for discussing work analysis issues. The second topic, work taxonomy evaluation methodology, will describe the methods the subcommittee is employing to compare and analyze known work taxonomies for potential use by SSA. The final topic, work taxonomy evaluation criteria, will present the evaluation criteria identified by the subcommittee for potential use in making recommendations on the work characteristics taxonomy component of a content model for SSA.

One possible approach to identifying aspects of cognitive functioning is factor analysis. Factor analysis aims to elucidate smaller subsets of latent abilities that account for most of the performance variability seen in larger sets of cognitive measures. This presentation will review a number of previously reported factor analytic studies and attempt to summarize models of human cognitive architecture that involve single, dual, and multiple latent factors. It will also include a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of recommending that SSA adopt simple versus complex models of cognitive functioning for purposes of mental RFC assessment.
