Cognitive Performance Research at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas, 1960-2009 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

One of the research groups at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas, focused on human cognitive performance. The group was formed within the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) and was eventually part of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). This historical review uses an annotated bibliography format to summarize the work of that group from its founding in about 1960 through its closing in 2009. Also included are summaries of the genealogy of the group, the careers of the two principal scientists who led the group, Bryce O. Hartman and William F. Storm, brief biographies of scientists who influenced the group's research foci, the devices and techniques used by the group, and the group's technical contributions in: applied psychology; environmental stressors; man in space; psychopharmacology and performance; psychophysiology; sleep and circadian rhythms, including fatigue modeling; sustained operations and fatigue in aircrews and also in ground operations, including work scheduling; spatial orientation and situational awareness; team performance, including effects of fatigue; and human systems integration.

Autorenporträt

I conducted 45 years of applied research and development concerning human cognitive performance and fatigue. I focused mainly on the measurement and analysis of human physical and cognitive performance in military and civil aviation; highway, rail and maritime transportation; and night and shift work. Operator fatigue was at the center of my interests after my days as an Air Force pilot in the C-130E Hercules tactical transport in Vietnam. I'm also the author of "Fatigue" in McGraw-Hill's Controlling Pilot Error series (2001), and the ASIS CRISP report "Fatigue Effects and Countermeasures in 24/7 Security Operations" (2010). In 2018-2021 I taught Physiology as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Life Sciences, Texas &M University-Corpus Christi.
