Pilots' Cognitive Style Characteristics And Impact On The Allocation Of Attention

Flight psychological chosen is one of the focal points of pilot measures. The cognitive style is the combination of individual personality characteristic and cognitive characteristic, the cognitive style characteristic study of pilot and the application study of the cognitive style are important contents of flight psychological chosen study at present. Riding, etc. developed a more perfect style structure, comprise two degree, one is whole-analyze and the other is word-image, its effectiveness has been validated. The prepare experiment tested the effectiveness of "attention allocation test (AAT)". Experiment 1 and 2 are formal experiments. Cognitive style analyze (CSA) is used in experiment 1 to analyze the cognitive style degree of participants. AAT is used in experiment 2 to test participants' attention allocation. Results indicate central type and whole type are cognitive style guides for pilot chosen; the central type is the best. The cognitive style of pilot has a little correlation with attention allocation. These results have validated the hypothesis of the study that "central type will be the best cognitive style guide for pilot chosen", but denial the hypothesis that "analyze type will be a cognitive style guide for pilot chosen" and "attention allocation of pilots of analyze type will be better than that of whole type".
