Crew State Monitoring And Line-Oriented Flight Training For Attention Management, Chad Stephens, Lawrence Prinzel, Angela Harrivel, Ray Comstock, Nijo Abraham, Alan Pope, James Wilkerson, Daniel Kiggins

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

Loss of control –inflight (LOC-I) has historically represented the largest category of commercial aviation fatal accidents. A review of worldwide transport airplane accidents (2001-2010) indicated that loss of airplane state awareness (ASA) was responsible for the majority of the LOC-I fatality rate. The Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) ASA study identified12 major themes that were indicated across the ASA accident and incident events. One of the themes was crew distractionorineffective attention management, which was found to be involved in all 18 events including flight crew channelized attention, startle/surprise, diverted attention, and/or confirmation bias. Safety Enhancement(SE)-211, “Training for Attention Management” was …

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

A Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) study of 18 worldwide loss-of-control accidents and incidents determined that the lack of external visual references was associated with aflight crew’s loss of attitude awareness or energy state awareness in 17 of these events. Therefore, CAST recommended development and implementation of virtual day-Visual Meteorological Condition (VMC)display systems, such as synthetic vision systems, whichcan promoteflight crew attitude awareness similar to a day-VMC environment. This paper describes the results of a high-fidelity, large transport aircraft simulation experimentthatevaluatedvirtual day-VMC displays and a “background attitude indicator” concept as an aid to pilots in recovery from unusual attitudes.

A Color-Code Design Tool, David L. Post, William E. Goode

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

The FAA is developing a standard set of colors for use inair traffic control (ATC) displays.The set will be defined in terms ofCIE Yu'v'values, corresponding sRGB values, and color names. A significant complication is that the ATC controller population includes people who havecolor-vision deficiencies (CVDs). We have written a softwaretool to assist the FAA inselecting and testing a suitable set of colors. It accepts a set of Yu'v'values as input and: (1) Draws graphics and calculates color-related figures of merit to predict whether the set will be acceptable for color-normal and CVD …

Intelligent Systems Applied To Workload Monitoring And Task Allocation, Scott Grigsby, Jacob Crossman, Rich Frederikson, Ben Purman, Dylan Schmorrow

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

We have implemented an integrated system, called Computational Situation Awareness (CSA), into a prototype control station to coordinate dynamic task sharing and allow UxV operators to be quickly brought up to speed with sufficient situation awareness to effectively understand and handle new tasking. Within CSAwe have implemented a real-time workload model for estimating workload across a user’s visual, tactile, and cognitive resources. This workload estimate enables the system to recognize when tasks should be handed off and to whom they should be handed. By tracking user tasks, user workload, and system state, the system builds an understanding of the team’s …

Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Characteristics And How Social Support Plays A Role, Stephanie Smith-Kellen Jan 2017

Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Characteristics And How Social Support Plays A Role, Stephanie Smith-Kellen

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

NSSI affects many young adults and is associated with suicidal ideation, as well as numerous mental health disorders and other psychological variables. There were a total of 59 participants that participated in this study from an undergraduate college sample who endorsed self-injuring. An online platform for research was used to recruit participants and provide them with the online survey link. Self-injuring more than one bodily location may result in feeling more stigma than individuals who self-injure one bodily location. Self-stigma and self-injuring multiple bodily locations both significantly predicted suicidal ideation, but gender and social support did not predict suicidal ideation. …

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

Understanding the relation betweenmotivation and pilot impulsive decision-making is extremely important in the context of aviation human factors.One way to operationalize motivation is by presentingparticipantswith different reinforces, either primary (e.g. food rewards) or secondary (e.g. financial incentives,arguably playinga crucial role in in-flight decision-making).To establish the role that different reward systems play in decision-making, we tested the extent to which distinct brain regions aresensitive to the reinforcement content. Combininganeuro-economics approach with a voxel-based lesion method, we foundthat distinct regions within orbito-frontal cortex (OFC) are differentially involved in impulsivitydecisionsbased on the reinforcement type. In contrast, lesions in dorsolateral prefrontalcortex (DLPFC) were not …

Exploring Facilitated Debriefing Techniques Using A Diary Study, Shawn Pruchnicki Ms, Arjun H. Rao Ph.D

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

Diary studies, when used as a qualitative research instrument, provide numerous advantages not possible with other methods. These differences become even more apparent when comparing diary study results to the vastly different quantitative type paradigms. Although less commonly used, their unique benefit to the researcher is both the volume and nature of the open-endeddata captured.This underutilized method offers the researcher an opportunity to discovera rich first person account of the experiences, feelings, observations, and solutions to challenges.Here we present the beginning of a research study where we employed a diary studymethod to discover specific behavioursand observations from the perspective of …

Periodic Blink Measures Using Dynamic Windowing, Matt Middendorf, Chelsey Credlebaugh, Christina Gruenwald, Jonathan Mead, Scott Galster

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

Artificial neural network (ANN) modelsare a common tool forcognitive state assessment. It is best if the inputs to the model are periodic. Typically, these inputs are extractedfrom physiological signals such as the electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), electrooculogram (EOG), and others. Spectral measures derived from EEG data are periodic due to the signal processing. Features based on heart activity and respiration are quasi-periodic by nature. Features extracted from EOG, such as blink rate, can be especiallynon-periodic and can contain outliers. One approach to deal with this problem is to use static windows to compute average blink rate. This approach has some …

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

Remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) crews of the future will encounter more than the traditional threats to their aircraft. In addition to air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles, future conflicts will most likely include cyber weapons. While cyber weapons cancertainly cause physical damage to these aircraft, the potential also exists to turn the friendly RPA against their own forces. The goal of the Resilient and Assured UASSystems and Operations (RAUSO) program is to develop a cyber security module (CSM) that will detect and defend RPAs from cyber attacks. In some cases, the CSM will need to act automatically to defeat the threat. In …

Facilitating Communication For Aviation Training And Maintenance, Lorraine E. Holtaway, Kyle Jackson, Sarah M. Hubbard Ph.D.

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

Maintenance errors are the primary cause of approximately 8% of commercial aircraft accidents worldwide. One factor that contributes to human errors is miscommunication. Clear communication is critical in aviation education and in aviation maintenance operations. A fundamental concept for clear communication is both the transmission and receipt of a common message. This research explores the miscommunication and misinterpretation of instructions used in maintenance training. Miscommunicationmay be due to ambiguity, use of jargon, and differentindividual interpretations and methods for standard practices. First, an example of a commonly misunderstood process is identified. Next, enhanced training tools are developed to reduce the likelihood …

Using Pair-Wise Rankings In The Assessment Of Adaptive Aiding, Christina Gruenwald, Matt Middendorf, Chelsea Credlebaugh, Jonathan Mead, Scott Galster

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

In remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) operations, operator cognitive workload is an important concern. High workload couldresult in performance decrements and operational mishaps. In research, physiological data can beused by models to assess the operator’s cognitive state. When a model detects the onset of cognitive overload, assistance could thenbe provided to the operator to help mitigate the overload in some form of augmentation. However, it is imperative that the assessment is accurate and completed in a timely manner. The accuracy of a workload assessment model and augmentation application canbe evaluated using a psychometrically determined scale of man/machine conditions. Both the operator …

Incomplete Knowledge Of Results And The Manipulation Of Response Bias, Matthew J. Davis Jan 2017

Incomplete Knowledge Of Results And The Manipulation Of Response Bias, Matthew J. Davis

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

In signal detection theory, an optimal observer exploits all available information to achieve the desired goal of a particular decision strategy (Green & Swets, 1966). Detectionexperiments often provide the observer with complete knowledge of results (CKR) in order to ensure best possible performance for the task. If optimal behavior is indeed dependent upon CKR, then a degradation of that information should also reduce the likelihood of achieving optimal response bias. A single-interval auditory detection experiment was conducted to measure changes in response bias in the presence of incomplete knowledge of results(IKR) (i.e. feedback for some combination of true/false detections …

Longitudinal Safety Climate Analysis: Modeling For Enhanced Organizational Response, Erin E. Bowen, Brian J. Roggow

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

Much of the safety climate research captures only a transient state in the aviation environment, by extension limiting organizational responses to transactional approaches. The limits of the transient annual safety climate audit traps safety attitudinal/behavioral research in a static or reactive cycle. The present study takes advantage of a collegiate aviation environment with multiple training locations (each with its own culture), participating in regular safety climate audits across flight operations, to develop an enhanced safety culture model. Using longitudinal climate data collected from the organization, the authors present a mixed-methods trend analysis of safety climate changes to date, incorporating organizational …

The Oculometer Training Tape Technique: The Revival, Carolina Diaz-Piedra, Andres Catena, Luis J. Fuentes, Leandro L. Di Stasi

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

The oculometer training tape technique (OT 3 ) aimsto enhance aviation training by 1) allowing theflightinstructors to provide real-time feedback, 2) improving debriefing sessions by playing back the traineepilot’s scan behavior, and 3) editing didactic videos based on the scan behavior of experienced pilots. Despite the original positive evaluations ofits usefulness, the OT 3 hasfailed to gain traction in aviation training programs. This is probably due to the technical difficulties as well as the intrusiveness/bulkiness of the equipment needed. Modern non-intrusive eye trackers,integrated witha forward facing scene-camera, can record pilots’ eye movements and, simultaneously, capture what the pilot sees. Here, …

Effects Of An Ecological Interface On Flight Training Effectiveness, Ronald Deerenberg, M.M. (René) Van Paassen, Clark Borst, Max Mulder

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

For Ecological Interface Design (EID), the underlying constraints and properties of an operator’s work domain are analysed and used as a basis for the design of the information displays, so that these may reveal these underlying mechanisms. Most evaluations for EID have been performed with expertor trained participants. However, it can be hypothesised that the effects of EID will alsochange the way tasks are learned by novices; since the EID designs support direct manipulation, and at the same time show the constraints in the work domain, a novice would be able to performthe task as a skill, employing the direct …
