Abstract Records of beach morphologic change and concurrent hydrodynamic forcing are needed to understand how coastlines in different environments over time. This submission contains data for the period 2006 2021, two contrasting macrotidal southwest England: (i) cross-shore dominated, dissipative, sandy Perranporth Beach, Cornwall; (ii) longshore-dominated, reflective gravel beaches within Start Bay, Devon. Data comprise monthly annual profile surveys, merged topo-bathymetries, addition...
Abstract The present studies were undertaken to investigate the applicability of an information processing approach human failure in aircraft cockpit. Using data obtained from official accident investigation reports, a database accidents and incidents involving New Zealand civil between 1982 1991 was compiled. In first study, reports coded into one three error stages proposed by Nagel (1988) for presence any 61 specific errors noted Gerbert Kemmler (1986). importance decisional factors fatal...
This paper presents three case studies of Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) for defining systems design and training requirements. The approach taken involves a modification the critical decision method Klein et al. authors utilized revised CDM to obtain information from expert white-water rafting guides, general aviation pilots, emergency ambulance dispatchers. obtained was used develop multi-media tools guides redesign VDU display requirements examples demonstrate utility an CTA that is...
Cues have been identified as important precursors to successful diagnoses among expert practitioners. However, current approaches the identification of cues typically rely on subjective methods, making validity difficult establish. The present research examined utility a Paired-Concept Association Task (P-CAT) basis for discriminating and novice cue activation in context offender profiling. Three studies are reported: 1A employed cognitive interview acquisition cue-based concepts used by...
In complex, high consequence environments such as aviation, the capacity to acquire, integrate, and respond task-related cues is critical for accurate situation assessment avoid plan-continuation errors. The aim of present study was establish whether differences in performance on a series aviation-related, cue-based tasks corresponded decision selection during simulated pre-flight in-flight weather-related decision-making. Phase 1 (pre-flight decisions), 57 participants were categorised into...
This study was designed to examine whether differences in cue utilization were associated with performance during a novel, simulated rail control task, and these reflected reduction cognitive load. Two experiments conducted, the first of which involved completion 20-min simulation that required participants re-route trains periodically diversion. Participants greater level recorded consistently response latency, consistent strategy maintained accuracy, but reduced demands on resources. In...
Checking performed by workers is crucial if safety to be effectively managed in high-risk settings. We aimed examine the influence of working memory capacity, mindfulness, sleep, and interruptions on checking performance for detection errors. A total 86 participants completed a 32-min rail control simulation. Participants checks that involved matching versus critical analysis assimilation with occurring during task. Higher capacity was associated higher response accuracy faster latency....
Inappropriate and ineffective weather-related decision making continues to account for a significant proportion of general aviation fatalities in the United States elsewhere. This study details evaluation computer-based training system that was developed provide visual pilots with skills necessary recognize respond cues associated deteriorating weather conditions during flight. A total 66 were assigned one two groups, process undertaken at both self-report performance level. At level,...
Objective: The present study investigated whether performance across a range of cue-based cognitive tasks differentiated the diagnostic power control operators into three distinct groups, characteristic novice, competence, and expertise. Background: Despite its increasing importance in contemporary workplace, there is little understanding processes that distinguish competent, expert context remote diagnosis. However, recent evidence suggests cue acquisition utilization may represent...
Where occupational performance outcomes are difficult to measure, there is a tendency associate expertise with years of experience and/or previous position. Although useful, these indicators represent composite constructs that embody number different variables, only some which may be strongly associated the transition expertise. In identifying an alternative measure expertise, it necessary consider cognitive processes expert performance, in particular, role cue utilization. The present...
Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Sydney, Australia Objective: The authors describe the development of a new, more objective method distinguishing experienced competent nonexpert from expert practitioners within pediatric intensive care. Background: Expert performance involves acquisition and use refined feature-event associations (cues) in operational environment. Competent nonexperts, although experienced, possess rudimentary cue memory. Thus, they cannot respond as efficiently or reliably...
Background Double-checking the administration of medications has been standard practice in paediatric hospitals around world for decades. While is widespread, evidence its effectiveness reducing errors or harm scarce. Objectives To measure association between double-checking, and occurrence potential severity medication (MAEs); check duration; factors associated with double-checking adherence. Methods Direct observational study 298 nurses, administering 5140 doses to 1523 patients, across...
Introduction The ability to perform optimally under pressure is critical across many occupations, including the military, first responders, and competitive sport. Despite recognition that such performance depends on a range of cognitive factors, how common these factors are domains remains unclear. current study sought integrate existing knowledge in field form transdisciplinary expert consensus mechanisms underlie pressure. Methods International experts were recruited from four [(i)...
Abstract Weather-related accidents continue to account for a significant proportion of fatal general aviation accidents. The aim this study was examine the nature inflight weather-related decision making in task involving assessments weather conditions. Pilots examined 10 photographic images conditions taken during flight and were asked judge whether it would be possible along current track altitude remain visual meteorological (VMC). As part their assessments, respondents also indicate...
Two studies were conducted to measure expertise in aeronautical weather-related risk perception using the Cochran–Weiss–Shanteau (CWS) index. In first study, qualified pilots, student and geography students presented with scenarios, rated involved each scenario. There was no relationship between flight experience CWS scores. The 3 groups of participants did not significantly differ their scores, although pilots most discriminating, consistent. To decrease reliance on memory, procedure...
Abstract The operational control of complex systems such as power and air traffic is increasingly relegated to advanced technology devices with the expectation that operations controllers will maintain oversight system intervene where appropriate. Moreover, centralisation has resulted in remotely, typically through a human–machine interface. This article discusses principles underlie design interfaces for remote systems, drawing on theories skill acquisition address needs less experienced...
The primary aim of this study was to examine the role cue utilization in initial acquisition psycho-motor skills. Two experiments were undertaken, first which examined relationship between typologies and levels accuracy following four simulated, power-off landing trials a light aircraft simulator. results indicated that higher associated with greater level training exposure. In second study, participants' assessed prior two 15 min periods during they practiced take-offs landings using...
Skilled performance has been characterised, in part, by the capacity to accurately identify and respond patterns as cues environment. The outcome is a reduction cognitive load greater residual undertake concurrent tasks. present study was designed examine relationship between cue utilisation temporal pattern recognition context of simulated, rail control task. Sixty-one university students undertook an assessment engaged simulation. appearance movement trains followed consistent but implicit...
