Combining Flight Procedures Training With Mental Flexibility Training

Abstract

Flightcrew decision-making is contingent upon past experiences that create a set of action patterns or scripts. However, implementing the correct script or switching from one script to another may be difficult if one does not have the mental flexibility to adapt these scripts to changing situations. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects that augmenting procedural training with mental flexibility training can have on decision-making performance. The results, although preliminary, suggest that having more than one script, regardless of mental flexibility, does indeed improve decision-making performance.
