Aerospace psychology

Aerospace psychology is a branch of [psychology] that studies psychological aspects of aviation, increasing efficiency improving selection of applicants for occupations, identification of psychological causes of aircraft accidents, and application of cognitive psychology to understand human behaviors, actions, cognitive and emotional processes in aviation, and interaction between employees. Aviation psychology originated at the beginning of the 1920s with the development of aviation medicine and work psychology in the USSR, Human separation from earth leads to a drastic change in spatial orientation; accelerations, drops in barometric pressure, changes in atmosphc composition, can have a substantial effect on the nervous system, and requires uninterrupted concentration and rapid decisions. Currently, research in aviation psychology develops within the framework of engineering psychology.[1][2][3]

Publications

The International Journal of Aerospace Psychology (2017 - current), formerly known as The International Journal of Aviation Psychology (1900-2016) is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering research on the "development and management of efficient aviation systems from the standpoint of the human operators." It integrates disciplines of engineering and computer science, psychology, education, and physiology. published by Taylor and Francis, edited by the Association of Aviation Psychology.[4]

gollark: Merry birthday!
gollark: I don't think it would work very well. PDFs are basically just images with text layers or something and a stupidly convoluted format.
gollark: Is there an EPUB version? PDFs are annoying to read.
gollark: There will have been millennia to refine flowcharts and/or to just stick fairly general AI in there, so I don't see the problem. Just have a nonvolitional narrow AI to manage piloting.
gollark: Even it the people are very reliable and consistent, the autopilot can be made equally so without requiring someone to actually sit there running it.
