Situational Assessment as a Marker of Cognitive Skill Decay

这项研究的目的是测试在复杂任务中暴露的差异如何改变情境评估能力。在司机、飞行员和电力管制员中，评估和有效应对运营环境变化的能力对于维持业绩和确保公众的安全和安保至关重要。确定这种关系的性质，将首次使认知技能衰退的客观衡量成为可能。为了更准确地评估认知技能衰退，我们将提供一个经济高效、易于管理的工具，使从业者能够识别和解决发展领域，并提供数据以预测认知技能衰退最有可能发生的时间。

The aim of this study is to test how differences in exposure to complex tasks change the capacity for situational assessment. Amongst drivers, pilots and electricity controllers, the capacity to assess and respond effectively to changes in the operational environment are critical in sustaining performance and ensuring the safety and security of the public. Establishing the nature of this relationship will enable, for the first time, objective measures of cognitive skill decay. In evaluating cognitive skill decay more accurately, we will provide a cost-effective, easily administered tool, enabling practitioners to identify and address areas of development and providing data to anticipate when cognitive skill decay is most likely to occur.
