Emotion and strategic learning in war / Dolan, Thomas M   Journal Article
Dolan, Thomas M Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This paper applies the framework of affective intelligence theory—a theory of how emotions affect attitudes, beliefs, and decision making—to elite learning during war time. Doing so provides novel hypotheses about when and how war leaders respond to new events. These hypotheses are tested using a set of cases drawn from the Winter War. Findings suggest that these emotion-derived hypotheses may be more effective in predicting learning and its absence than purely Bayesian or extant cognitive models of learning.

Intelligence theory from the margins: questions ignored and debates not had / Bean, Hamilton   Journal Article
Bean, Hamilton Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article explores post-2009 contributions to intelligence theorizing that focus on critique and transformation of dominant IS ontologies and epistemologies. This exploration illuminates diverse theoretical resources that can help reveal hidden or misunderstood intelligence-related phenomena. The article contributes to recent calls for establishing a Critical Intelligence Studies subfield that attempts to move associated scholarship from the margins of Intelligence Studies to a more visible and influential position within the field.

Overlord/bodyguard: intelligence failure through adversary deception / Smith, Timothy J   Journal Article
Smith, Timothy J Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Much of today's intelligence literature emphasizes the role of cognitive bias and organizational pathologies in the explanation of intelligence failure. Adversary deception complicates the problem, not only for intelligence analysts and managers but for intelligence theorists as well. Operation Bodyguard, the deception plan covering Allied landings in Normandy in northwestern France in June 1944, is a case in point. Although German intelligence and decisionmaking displayed flaws, Bodyguard was such a monumental and masterful counterintelligence and deception operation that even perfectly rational individuals and organizations might have struggled to divine the truth through its fog and misdirection. Much of its deceptive power derived from the exploitation of human psychological traits that have come to be understood scientifically only in recent decades. Although a famous historical event (associated with one of World War II's most famous quotations), Bodyguard warrants re-examination in light of modern psychology and intelligence theory. This battle between intelligence and deception is valuable as a case study in the general theory of deception and its underlying cognitive factors, understanding and mastery of which are vital to success in information-age conflict.
