Covering field history and discussing actual modern-day pilot actions and tasks, the editors of this volume have integrated contributions from leaders in aviation to present psychological principles and research pertinent to the interface between a pilot and the cockpit. The book addresses the pilot‘s cognitive demands, capabilities, and limitations, which have important implications for operator selection and training as well as display/control designs in the cockpit. It emphasizes scientific methods of achieving this understanding and implies that theories and principles of human behavior are shaped and improved by practical problems and applied studies.

Decision making pervades every aspect of life: people make hundreds of decisions every day. The vast majority of these are trivial and without a right or wrong answer. In some respects there is also nothing extraordinary about pilot decision making. It is only the setting that is different - the underlying cognitive processes are just the same. However, it is the context and the consequences of a poor decision which serve to differentiate aeronautical decision making. Decisions on the flight deck are often made with incomplete information and while under time pressure. The implications for inadequate performance is much more serious than in many other professions. Poor decisions are implicated in over half of all aviation accidents. This volume contains key papers published over the last 25 years providing an overview of the major paradigms by which aeronautical decision making has been investigated. Furthermore, decision making does not occur in isolation. It is a joint function of the flight tasks; knowledge; equipment on the flight deck and other stressors. In this volume of collected papers, works from leading authors in the field consider all these aspects of aeronautical decision making.

The book includes new research results of scholars from the Third International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Technologies (ICAIT 2022) organized by IRNet International Academic Communication Center, held during October 28–30, 2022. The book covers research work from active researchers who are working on collaboration of industry and various intelligent technologies such as intelligent technologies applicable/applied to manufacturing and distribution of industrial products, factory automation, and business. The topics included are all computational intelligence techniques applicable/applied to industry, intelligent techniques in data science applicable/applied to business and management, intelligent network systems applicable/applied to industrial production, intelligent technologies applicable to smart agriculture, and intelligent information systems for agriculture.

Presents recent theory and research related to the multifaceted processes of training. Authoritative American and British researchers summarize traditional areas in training such as skill acquisition, transfer and retention. Relatively new topics including individual differences, social and organizational factors are also considered. The emphasis is on current theory and research on human learning and performance as it relates to training.
