A Feedback Intervention to Increase Digital and Paper Checklist Performance in Technically Advanced Aircraft Simulation
Rantz, William G.; Van Houten, Ron
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v44 n1 p145-150 Spr 2011
This study examined whether pilots operating a flight simulator completed digital or paper flight checklists more accurately after receiving postflight graphic and verbal feedback. The dependent variable was the number of checklist items completed correctly per flight. Following treatment, checklist completion with paper and digital checklists increased from 38% and 39%, respectively, to nearly 100% and remained close to 100% after feedback and praise for improvement were withdrawn. Performance was maintained at or near 100% during follow-up probes. (Contains 1 figure.)
