 | Intelligence researchers traditionally focus their attention on the individual level and overlook the role of intelligence at the interindividual level. This research investigated the interplay of the effects of intelligence at the individual and interindividual levels by manipulating the intelligence-based composition of dyadic training teams. Using a sample of 176 young adult males and a complex computer-based criterion task, homogeneous and heterogeneous dyadic training teams were created based on intelligence ... |

|
| Prior research examined how controllers plan in their traditional environment and identified various information uncertainty by perceptually representing important constraints. This included integrating spatial information on the radar screen with discrete information (planned sequences of air traffic). Canning et al. (1999) and Moertl et al. (2000) reported improved planning performance and decreased workload in the planning aid condition. The purpose of this paper was to determine the source of these ... |

| An investigation of how en route air traffic controllers solved sequencing problems using paper flight progress strips led to the development of a new software interface to aid planning. The primary feature of the new interface involved replacing the strips with virtual tokens that were dynamically linked to their radar targets. In addition, an automated tool was developed that provided a tentative sequencing of the tokens. The current experiment evaluated ... |

|
| This investigation was designed to study the effects of the antihistamine, chlorpheniramine maleate, as well as the influence of age and gender, singly and in combination with chlorpheniramine maleate, on selected types of performance tasks. It was hypothesized that chiorpheniramine maleate would have a negative effect on a wide range of task performance and self report measures of mood and performance capability. Increasing age was hypothesized to have a negative ... |

|
| In this study, air traffic control instructors controlled simulated traffic while three techniques for determining situation awareness (SA) were implemented. SA was assessed using a self-report measure (SART); a query method that removed information on the plan-view display (SAGAT); a query technique that did not have a memory component (SPAM); and the detection of errors integrated into the scenarios (implicit performance). We used these measures ... |

| Title 14 part 133 of the Federal Code of Regulations (14 CFR 133) titled, "Rotorcraft External Load Operations," describes the operation and certification rules governing helicopter external load operations. Specifically, part 133.45 addresses rotorcraft operations involving human external loads (HELs) and the design of personnel lifting devices used in HEL operations. To determine if there is a need for imposing new regulations on HEL operations, the ... |

|
| We tested en route air traffic controllers (currently serving as instructors at the FAA Academy) to determine what they remember about the aircraft in their sector. We focused on memory for flight data (especially aircraft altitude and ground speed) and the position of the aircraft on the radar screen. Aircraft importance affected memory for flight data but not the highly accurate recall of the radar ... |

|
| We tested air traffic controllers currently serving as instructors and tried to manipulate their memory for various aircraft flight data. In Experiment 1, the amount of control exercised (the number of control actions or communications) had little effect on memory for flight data, although we did find excellent memory for the position of aircraft on the radar display. We argued that this was the basis ... |

|
| The role of the Flight Progress Strip, currently used to display important flight data, has been debated because of long range plans to automate the air traffic control (ATC) human-computer interface. Currently, the Fight Progress Strip is viewed by many as an indispensable tool needed for the safe and expeditious separation of air traffic. Long term plans to automate the American system have initiated a debate on the impact of ... |

| NASA is conducting a series of space shuttle launches to enable scientists to study the effects of microgravity. The Sustained Operations Branch of the USAF Armstrong Laboratory (AL/CFTO) has primary responsibility for studying the effects of microgravity on astronaut cognitive performance ability. To accurately identify performance decrements caused by microgravity in space, it is essential to collect preflight baseline data. Two studies were conducted to determine the impact on baseline ... |

|
| A simulation of an air traffic control task was the setting for an investigation of the functions of external cues in prospective memory. External cues can support the triggering of an action or memory for the content of the action. We focused on memory for the content and manipulated the temporal characteristics of the external cue to disentangle two possible functions the cue can support: (1) An external cue visible ... |

| Several investigators have expressed concern that the imminent automation of air traffic control may have negative consequences on cognitive functioning, and ultimately on performance. We investigated these possibilities empirically by comparing normal, conventional air traffic control with an experimental condition designed to resemble an extreme version of automation. Overall, measures of performance were comparable between conditions. Most of the cognitive measures (attentional demands, visual search, recall of flights, recall of ... |

|
| Readiness to Perform (RTP) testing has become an increasingly popular alternative to biochemical screening as a method for assessing risk factors (i. e., drug, alcohol, fatigue, etc.) in the workplace. The focus of RTP testing is on the assessment of worker performance capability prior to job engagement. Thus, RTP testing is a method of assessing the state of preparedness of workers for performing their jobs. Unfortunately, RTP testing is being ... |
