TL;DR: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's current practices and research on teamwork are described, which includes team selection and composition, teamwork training, countermeasures to mitigate risks to effective team performance, and the measurement and monitoring of team functioning.

TL;DR: A team is defined as "two or more individuals who interact socially and adaptively, have shared or common goals, and hold meaningful task interdependences; it is hierarchically structured and has a limited life span; expertise and roles are distributed; and it is embedded within an organization/environmental context that influences and is influenced by ongoing processes and performance outcomes" (Salas, Stagl, Burke, & Goodwin, 2007, p. 189).

TL;DR: A systematic review is conducted to identify opportunities for research and potential relationships between game attributes and teamwork behaviors to uncover the manner in which game-based training can be leveraged to facilitate effective teamwork.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the critical psychological factors, especially those relevant to functioning in a team-based mission, to consider during the astronaut selection process that may mitigate risk factors and enhance team performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a high-level overview of several key neurobiological systems relevant to social dynamics and identify opportunities and strategic considerations for multidisciplinary research and development.
