>>>I am elaborating a work abaut "DECISION MAKING UNDER STRESS" for a
Workshop.
Do any member have some special or particular contribution?<<<
There's so much literature on this topic I suspect simply summarizing the
existing work will be an exhausting job. Aside from the recent Flin and
Salas book which Ephimia mentioned, you might take a look at Stress and
Error in Aviation (ed. Eric Farmer) and Flight Stress; Stress, Fatigue and
Performance in Aviation (Alan Stokes and Kirsten Kite) both from Avebury
Aviation press.
Part of the problem is that neither term (stress, decision-making) refers
to one consistent thing or approach. Physiological measures of stress and
workload for a single pilot may be largely unrelated to cognitive measures
of crew coordination during complex performances with multiple stressors.
Certainly there is no unambiguous route from the subjective experience of
stress to a poor team decision, although some work I did recently analysing
ASRS, NTSB, BASI, TSB etc. incident/accident reports suggests that poor
crew coordination performance can be largely traced back to faulty
low-level skill or task performances which could be affected by individual
cognitive workload issues ("worry cognitions").
What are the specfic aims of the workshop?
