The purpose of this research was both applied and theoretical. From an applied perspective, we sought to develop new tests of cognitive abilities that would be related to later flight situation awareness (SA) performance, to relate the new measures to existing measures of cognitive ability, and to give the new measures to the Navy for further investigation as personnel classification tools. This research also sought to expand the classification tools available to identify aviators with high SA abilities. By improving such identification, the ability to match personnel skills and cognitive demands of occupations requiring SA will be enhanced. From a theoretical perspective, this research was designed to improve our understanding of the cognitive abilities required to gain and maintain flight SA, and in so doing to provide a more precise definition of the SA construct. In addition, we intended to address the impact of stress on Navy student and expert pilot WM, LTWM, and flight SA abilities and to focus on the development and test of internal and external validity for three new measures of flight SA ability. These goals were supposed to be accomplished during years 2 and 3 of the project. Funding ended after the first year, which meant the additional goals, could not be addressed.
