# tblDefsDifficulty

DifficultyDefined:
Not Difficult:  The task requires some concentrated practice, gets easier with practice, requires limited, low-level decision making.


DifficultyDefined:
Moderately Difficult:  The task requires concentrated effort, but situation awareness is not a critical factor. Decision making is required, but responses will not preclude mission success.


DifficultyDefined:
Very Difficult:  The ability to perform the task gets better with practice, but the task does not get easier.  The task requires considerable effort, critical decision making, ten or more sub-tasks, and/or many concurrent activities.
