Use Of A Commercially Available Flight Simulator During Aircrew Performance Testing, S. A. Shappell, B. J. Bartosh
Use Of A Commercially Available Flight Simulator During Aircrew Performance Testing, S. A. Shappell, B. J. Bartosh
Publications
Investigations of aircrew sustained operations (SUSOPS) have been criticized for employing tasks with no apparent external validity. Because measures obtained directly from aviators flying high-performance aircraft are difficult to obtain, a laboratory compromise is needed. High-fidelity flight simulators used for aircrew training offer the most realistic simulation, but their availability is limited. Personal computer-based flight simulators may provide adequate simulation in, the laboratory at a reasonable cost. This report describes a representative research protocol using a commercially available flight simulator during a simulated aircrew SUSOP.
Behavioral Variability And Rule Generation: General Restricted, And Superstitious Contingency Statements, Stuart Vyse
Behavioral Variability And Rule Generation: General Restricted, And Superstitious Contingency Statements, Stuart Vyse
Psychology Faculty Publications
Examines the contingency statements produced by uninstructed human subjects exposed to a task that assessed nonverbal response variability. Relationship of self-instructions to nonverbal behavior; Environmental conditions associated with accurate and inaccurate rule-generation; Causal status of self-rules.
The Cognitive Status Of Risk: A Response To Thompson, L. James Valverde
The Cognitive Status Of Risk: A Response To Thompson, L. James Valverde
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Discussing the role that probability theory should play in Risk analysis and management, Dr. Valverde argues that Thompson's approach puts too much emphasis on the distinction between Risk subjectivism and Risk objectivism in addressing the question, "When are Risks real?"
Risk Perception And Drug Safety Evaluation, Ilan B. Vertinsky, Donald A. Wehrung
Risk Perception And Drug Safety Evaluation, Ilan B. Vertinsky, Donald A. Wehrung
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors present a Risk communication framework based on a survey of empirical research concerning public Risk perceptions. They also apply it to the area of pharmaceutical regulation to suggest more effective regulatory strategies.
The Effects Of Constant, Force-Drop And Variable Duration Training On Increasing The Useful Field Of View, Kathleen Marie O'Connor
The Effects Of Constant, Force-Drop And Variable Duration Training On Increasing The Useful Field Of View, Kathleen Marie O'Connor
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The Useful Field of View (UFOV) is the entire area in which information can be gathered without moving the head or eyes. It is generally found that the size of the UFOV shrinks with age. Additionally, research has shown that simple practice on the UFOV task can increase the size of the UFOV. However, simple practice may not be the most effective strategy for increasing the UFOV. The present study examined whether training directed toward a specific basis of UFOV loss (slower speed of processing) is more effective than simple practice at increasing field size.
