Mechanisms of cognitive control in cadet pilots
BACKGROUND Optimizing performance of aviators while minimizing risks arising from the exposure to extreme environment, both external and internal, is one of the principles guiding the Israeli Air Force. Young cadets in particular are considered an "at risk" population due to the fact that they have no experience in flight in the first stages of training and are therefore subjects for investigat...
متن کاملMechanisms of Cognitive Control
Previous research has identified the prefrontal cortex (PFC) as a brain region that is critical for cognitive control. Currently, theorists remain divided about whether to view the PFC as primarily a coordinative, mnemonic, or inhibitory structure. A theory is presented that attempts to resolve some of the apparent conflicts between the predominant views on PFC control functions. In this theory...
متن کاملEffect of centrifuge test on blood serum lipids index of cadet pilots.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE This study aimed at investigating the relationship between the lipid index (WS) in the examined cadets and duration of exposure to +Gz in the human centrifuge. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study involved 19 first-year cadets of the Polish Air Force Academy in Dęblin.

متن کاملIntroduction to cognitive processes of expert pilots.
This report addresses the historical problem that a very high percentage of accidents have been classified as involving "pilot error." Through extensive research since 1977, the Federal Aviation Administration determined that the predominant underlying cause of these types of accidents involved decisional problems or cognitive information processing. To attack these problems, Aeronautical Decis...
متن کاملComputer-assisted cognitive function assessment of pilots
in an environment unforgiving of human error, where cognitive failure can lead to catastrophic consequences. Cognitive function testing is one means of selecting mentally capable pilots. It is also a means of screening for covert disease, and it can be used to establish baseline performance data and provide ongoing monitoring of health. (For these reasons, cognitive function testing of all acti...
