Download or read book Applied Cognitive Task Analysis in Aviation written by Thomas L. Seamster and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the requirements of automatic system design, and new needs for the training of complex tasks, Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) has been used with increasing frequency in recent years by the airline industry and air traffic control community. Its power is reflected in the literature on professional training and systems design, where CTA is often cited as one of the most promising new technologies, especially for the complex cognitive tasks now confronting those working in aviation. The objective of this book is to bridge the gap between research and practice, to make what we know about CTA available to practitioners in the field. The book focuses on cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence analyses of aviation tasks. It is designed to help readers identify and solve specific design and training problems, in the flight deck, air traffic control and operations contexts. Distilling experience and guidelines from the best aviation cognitive analyses in accessible form, it is the first comprehensive volume on CTA, and is written for practitioners of cognitive analysis in aviation. It provides an overview of analyses to date; methods of data collection; and recommendations for designing and conducting CTA for use in instructional design, systems development, and evaluation. The first part of the book provides the principles and foundations of CTA, describing traditional approaches to task analysis and ways that cognitive analyses can be integrated with the analysis and development processes. The next part details how to: select the appropriate method or methods; determine job tasks that can be trained for automatic performance; extract knowledge structures; analyse mental models; and identify the decision-making and problem-solving strategies associated with experienced job performance. The authors also describe when to use and how to design and conduct a cognitive task analysis; how to use CTA along with traditional task analysis and ISD; and how to use CTA in training program development and systems design, as well as in personnel selection and evaluation. The current demand for cognitive analyses makes this a timely volume for those in aviation and, more generally, the industrial development and training communities. Readers will find this a thorough presentation of cognitive analyses in aviation and a highly usable guide in the design, implementation and interpretation of CTA. The book will be useful to instructional developers, aviation equipment and systems designers, researchers, government regulatory personnel, human resource managers, instructors, pilots, air traffic controllers, and operations staff.
Download or read book The Sensitivity of Twenty Measures of Pilot Mental Workload in a Simulated ILS Task written by Walter W. Wierwille and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty workload estimation techniques were compared in terms of their sensitivity to changes in pilot loading in an ILS task. The techniques included opinion measures, spare mental capacity measures, physiological measures, eye behavior measures, and primary task measures. Loading was treated as an independent variable and had three levels: low, medium, and high. The load levels were obtained by a combined manipulation of windgust disturbance level and simulated aircraft pitch stability. Six instrumented-rated pilots flew a moving-base general aviation simulator in four sessions lasting approximately three hours each. Measures were taken between the outer and middle markers. Two opinion measures, one spare mental capacity measure, one physiological measure, and one primary task measure demonstrated sensitivity to loading in this experiment. These measures were: Cooper-Harper ratings, WCI/TE ratings, time estimation standard deviation, pulse rate mean, and control movements per unit time. The Cooper-Harper ratings, WCI/TE ratings, and control movements demonstrated sensitivity to all levels of load, whereas the time estimation measure and pulse rate mean showed sensitivity to some load levels. The results demonstrate that sensitivities of workload estimation techniques vary widely, and that only a few techniques appear to be sensitive in this type of ILS task which emphasizes psychomotor behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering field history and discussing actual modern-day pilot actions and tasks, the editors of this volume have integrated contributions from leaders in aviation to present psychological principles and research pertinent to the interface between a pilot and the cockpit. The book addresses the pilot‘s cognitive demands, capabilities, and limitations, which have important implications for operator selection and training as well as display/control designs in the cockpit. It emphasizes scientific methods of achieving this understanding and implies that theories and principles of human behavior are shaped and improved by practical problems and applied studies.
Download or read book Pilot Judgment and Crew Resource Management written by Richard S. Jensen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive book on pilot judgment. It provides a clear understanding of pilot judgment emphasizing how it can be applied to improving safety in aviation. The author brings together a rich store of personal flying experiences combined with a strong base of personal academic research to support the concepts presented. The book gives not only a strong emphasis to the application of judgment to aviation but also lays particular stress on the principles needed in how to learn, teach and evaluate judgment. For pilots, the main benefits to be gained from the book will be a foundation of knowledge and teaching to enable them to make better, safer decisions. For flight instructors, it teaches how to teach and evaluate judgment in flight students. In addition to pilots and flight instructors, the readership obviously includes aviation classroom instructors, scientists doing aviation-related research and aviation safety specialists.
Download or read book Pilot Mental Health Assessment and Support written by Robert Bor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presentation of mental illness at work has different implications and consequences depending on the specific nature of the job, work context, regulatory framework and risks for the employee, organisation and society. Naturally there are certain occupational groups where human factors and/or mental illness could impair safety and mental acuity, and with potentially devastating consequences. For pilots, the medical criteria for crew licensing are stipulated by regulatory aviation authorities worldwide, and these include specific mental illness exclusions. The challenge of assessment for mental health problems is, however, complex and the responsibility for psychological screening and testing falls to a range of different specialists and groups including AMEs (authorised aviation medical examiners), GPs and physicians, airline human resources departments, psychologists, human factor specialists and pilots themselves. Extending and developing the ideas of Aviation Mental Health (2006), which described a range of psychological issues and problems that may affect pilots and the consequences of these, this book presents an authoritative, comprehensive and practical guide to modern, evidence-based practice in the field of mental health assessment, treatment and care. It features contributions from experts in the field drawn from several countries, professions and representing a range of aviation-related organisations, displaying a range of different skills and methods that can be used for the clinical assessment of pilots and in relation to specific mental-health problems and syndromes.

Download or read book Pilot Subjective Evaluation of Workload During a Flight Test Certification Programme written by Frank T. Ruggiero and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date there is no agreed upon definition of mental workload and therefore there is no agreement on how it should be measured. Current workload researchers do seem to agree on at least three aspects of mental workload: it is multidimensional construct, a clear distinction must be maintained between imposed mental load (task load) and the mental load as experienced (subjective load), and the use of subjective ratings should be central to any investigation of workload. On this last point, The President's Task Force on Aircraft Crew Complement made the following recommendations: This technique (task/timeline analysis based on comparison with previous aircraft designs), supplemented by improved subjective evaluation methods applied by qualified pilots, will offer the best means for demonstrating compliance with faa crew complement criteria. We recommend that FAA incorporate such methods in the tests to be employed for the certification of the B-757 and B-767 aircraft. The paper outlines the Pilot Subjective Evaluation (PSE) process developed by Boeing, in conjunction with the FAA, to supplement the analytical, simulator, and flight test crew workload evaluation techniques used to demonstrate compliance with the minimum crew size requirements of FAR 25.1523 and Appendix D(4).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing tendency towards all-digital airborne and groundbased workspaces, the search for satisfactory mental workload measurement methods has become one of the most active human factors research areas. Designers and engineers have asked for the better methods to assess mental workload at all stages of system development-but especially in the high-fidelity simulator and in actual in-flight tests. Techniques for measuring mental workload (hereafter referred to merely as workload) can be divided into three basic categories: physiological, behavioural, and subjective. The present paper deals with one particular technique belonging to the third group of methods, which always use some form of operator self-report (eg rating scales or questionnaires). The subjective methods seem at first glance to be almost too simple and unscientific . However, as Johannsen has noted, if an operator feels his workload level is high then is high, regardless of what other measures show. Some of the criteria normally applied in evaluating the various workload techniques are: non-intrusiveness, ease of implementation, operator acceptance, and sensitivity to variations in task demand. Although the subjective techniques tend to satisfy these requirements, probably better than behavioural and physiological methods, they have exhibited a couple of undesirable characteristics.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of mission complexity and information load on Pilot Mental Workload (PMWL), Situational Cognizance (SC), and Operative Effectiveness (OE) or operative performance. Previous assessment of operative performance or effectiveness has been developed with task analyses using psychological indices constructed with factor analysis. Generally, PMWL is affected by mission complexity and PMWL affects different aspects of Pilot Performance (PP). The specific purposes were to (1) validate psychological, psychophysiological, and performance based measures of PMWL, SC, and OE, (2) develop models of pilot performance for systems and mission evaluation, (3) compare real and simulated missions, and (4) discuss the application of these results to the systematic evaluation of systems and missions with the pilot in the loop. In the first phase, 20 fighter pilots performed 150 flight missions. In the second phase, 15 pilots performed 40 simulated missions. Questionnaires were used to tap mission complexity, information load, mental workload, mental capacity, motivation, situational cognizance, and performance. Additionally, during the simulated missions eye movements, heart and blink rates were obtained. From the flight and simulation data, the model analyses showed that mission complexity affects different aspects of information processing and mental workload and that these aspects, in their turn, affect situational cognizance and pilot performance. Significant relationships were found between heart rate, workload ratings, mental capacity, operative performance, and motivation. Heart rate and eye fixation rates increased, and blink rate decreased with increasing task complexity. A combination of these dynamic measures and the psychological indices form a reliable and valid technique for systems and mission evaluation.
