A method for evaluation of visual attention ability in flight spatial orientation
Objective To establish an evaluation method for visual attention ability in flight spatial orientation.Methods 168 fighter pilots took part in the study.Thirty-two fighter pilots were selected as the subjects before tasks and indicators for evaluation were determined via experiments using static attention scales,desktop dynamic simulation flight experimental systems,and illusion simulation training systems.An evaluation system was developed and 35 pilots were enrolled in the experiment to test the reliability and validity of the system.Test data from 195 pilots was used to establish the score norm for evaluation.Results The dual task in which the primary task was simulating flight while the secondary task was responding to the warning information was used as the evaluation paradigm.The primary task involved five tasks of simulating flight combat or stages,while the secondary tasks included 2-level response tasks to information on warning and attention.Thirteen evaluation indicators were identified.The retest reliability and criterion-related validity of the evaluation system were 0.993 and 0.753,respectively,both of which were statistically significant(P＜0.001).Conclusion Tasks and indexes for evaluation of pilots'visual attention ability in spatial orientation have been established,which have proved the good reliability and validity of the system.At the same time,a set of evaluation methods has been established,which can be used for the selection,evaluation and training of pilots'visual attention ability in spatial orientation.
