Description
Brighter Research provides human research services. We specialize in evaluating usability and user experiences, measuring human performance, and developing and applying competency-based assessments for the workplace. Our PhD-level scientists have backgrounds in experimental cognitive psychology, learning science, and assessment science. We conduct research to reveal unseen cognitive processes and provide actionable inferences from behavioral processes captured through observational research. We use scientific methods and apply validated models from the cognitive and behavioral sciences to understand what underlies the performance of individuals, teams, and human-technology systems. We use assessment science principles to validly measure knowledge, skills, and aptitudes. We work with organizations and teams to develop tailored evaluation methods and metrics and we support subject-matter experts to develop the competency-based assessments they need for their learners and personnel.
