Martins, Ana P. G.; Köbrich, Moritz V.; Carstengerdes, Nils; Biella, Marcus – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
The objective of the present study was to examine if the Outcome Bias also occurs in pilots flying under instrument flight rules (IFR). In a scenario-based survey, 60 pilots evaluated weather-related decisions made by hypothetical pilots. Participants rated the decisions as better, less risky, and regarded the probability that they would have made…

Muhl-Richardson, Alex; Parker, Maximilian G.; Recio, Sergio A.; Tortosa-Molina, Maria; Daffron, Jennifer L.; Davis, Greg J. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
When searching for a known target, mental representations of target features, or templates, guide attention towards matching objects and facilitate recognition. When only distractor features are known, distractor templates allow irrelevant objects to be recognised and attention to be shifted away. This is particularly true in X-ray baggage search,…

Hyönä, Jukka; Oksama, Lauri; Rantanen, Esa – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
In two experiments, participants tracked the identity and location of moving words. The task bears resemblance to one performed by air traffic controllers who track multiple moving aircraft, where they are identified with relatively complex alphanumeric call signs. In Experiment 1, stimulus familiarity was manipulated by comparing the tracking of…

Colin Alwin Harris – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Inexperienced and poorly trained Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCSs) contribute to aircraft accidents and other serious aviation mishaps, which negatively impact human safety, the environment, government and personal property, and the efficient and smooth operation of the National Airspace System (NAS). The Federal Aviation Administration…

McAnally, Ken; Davey, Catherine; White, Daniel; Stimson, Murray; Mascaro, Steven; Korb, Kevin – Cognitive Science, 2018
Situation awareness is a key construct in human factors and arises from a process of situation assessment (SA). SA comprises the perception of information, its integration with existing knowledge, the search for new information, and the prediction of the future state of the world, including the consequences of planned actions. Causal models…

Mavin, Timothy John; Kikkawa, Yoriko; Billett, Stephen – International Journal of Training Research, 2018
Debriefing is routinely used in pilot training. Limited empirical studies, however, have investigated what aspects of debriefing contribute to learning outcomes across professions. In this investigation, we focus on the learning of pilots flying large commercial aircraft in a multi-crew flight deck. The researchers observed, recorded and analysed…

Moon, Shannon – ProQuest LLC, 2017
In the absence of tools for intelligent tutoring systems for soaring flight simulation training, this study evaluated a framework foundation to measure pilot performance, affect, and physiological response to training in real-time. Volunteers were asked to perform a series of flight tasks selected from Federal Aviation Administration Practical…

Tan, Chin Pei; Howes, Dora; Tan, Rendell K. W.; Dancza, Karina M. – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2022
Interactive oral assessments demonstrate potential to develop graduate attributes such as critical thinking, professional communication and collaborative skills in students through authentic simulation of workplace scenarios. This study captured the design, delivery and evaluation of interactive oral assessments across three programmes --…

Bystrova, Bogdana; Nemlii, Liudmyla; Pazyura, Nataliya; Vasiukovych, Oksana – Advanced Education, 2019
The research aimed to study and experimentally verify the efficiency of the use of problem-based methods in teaching future air traffic controllers to conduct radio exchange in non-routine situations. The professional readiness to conduct radio exchange is viewed as a complex of professional skills and knowledge (communicative, cognitive and…
