“…A majority of them found the experiment relevant and able to capture some important factors (familiarity and ECFI) in a way consistent with their prior experience from real crisis. Therefore, we claim that our study maintained sufficient realism in the experimental setting so as to capture the essence of familiarity and ECFI and we believe that the present study will be a useful complement to studies of familiarity and ECFI in real crises (see for example the discussions in Hart, ; Dahlstrom, Dekker, van Winsen, & Nyce, ).…”

Modern day crises demand organizations to collaborate and adapt to new roles, functions and structures. In such situations, lack of collaborative behaviour and openness between organizations can result in reduced adaptive ability.Therefore, it is important to facilitate collaboration between organizations.We have studied the extent to which crisis managers are prepared to work with personnel and resources from organizations other than their own when responding to crises. An experiment was designed with four different organizations in Sweden, which involved decision making concerning whether the participants systematically favoured their own organization over others. Findings indicate that increasing familiarity and expectation of future cooperation with other organizations increased the likelihood that decision makers would be prepared to work with other organizations in joint crisis management.

“…All the characteristics of microworlds' tasks are defining features of DDM conditions in the flight environment, and the application of such methodology seems a plausible approach to assess the decision-making processes pilots use when dealing with unusual flight conditions, where procedures cannot offer ready-made solutions (Dahlström et al 2009). As in any DDM situation, the flight environment demands ability for recognizing patterns; information seeking is constant and will drive the decision process as the situation progresses.…”

Dynamic decision-making in aviation involves complex problem solving in a dynamic environment characterized by goal conflicts and time constrains. Training mostly focuses on testing domain-specific knowledge and skills that may result in context-specific rather than general problem-solving skills. A low-fidelity decision-making simulation may favour the understanding of the decision process rather than the decision outcome alone. We investigated airline pilots' decision-making strategies and task performance through the use of the low-fidelity computer simulation (microworld) COLDSTORE, a non-linear, opaque, time-delayed task. Almost thirty percent of pilots adapted (Adaptors) to the task's demands, reaching the desired objective. About thirty five percent of pilots approached the task using a cautious strategy (Cautious). However, the success rates in reaching the task's objective revealed that performance was compromised for the cautious group. A changing (Changers) and oscillating (Oscillators) approach was also observed. More experienced pilots differed from least experienced pilots in strategy and performance adopted. We suggest that low-fidelity dynamic decision-making simulations offer an environment for practicing and understanding the decision-making process. That may contribute to pilots' ability to coordinate monitoring, recognition, planning, judgement and choice when acting under flight environment time constraints. Relevance to human factors/ergonomics theory Dynamic decision-making training in aviation is limited by systematic checks in domainspecific flight scenarios. This type of training does not offer an environment where pilots can reflect upon the decision-making processes. This limits the development of skills for dealing with abnormal events in flight. The present study categorises pilots' decision-making strategies in a simulation context demanding creative problem-solving skills. We provide an analysis of how pilots approach a problem characterized by goal conflicts, where procedures cannot offer ready-made solutions. Since it is impossible to train pilots to every possible unexpected situation, exposure to such simulations may be used for improving pilots' resilience in future unknown conditions.

“…It is not surprising that using complex, high‐fidelity manikins for a simulation exercise meant to assess nontechnical skills is not likely to add value . While these high‐tech, expensive manikins may talk, blink, and accommodate various procedures, these feature‐rich actions are often not very realistic and have the potential to distract participants from the intended learning objectives of the simulation . Similarly, using a cadaver as a high‐fidelity resource to learn basic suturing techniques would not be expected to demonstrate benefit compared to learning using a ham hock.…”

"See one, do one, teach one" remains an unofficial, unsanctioned framework for procedural skill learning in medicine. Appropriately, medical educators have sought alternative simulation venues for students to safely learn their craft. With the end goal of ensuring competence, educational programming will require the use of valid simulation with appropriate fidelity. While cadavers have been used for teaching anatomy for hundreds of years, more recently they are being repurposed as a "high-fidelity" procedural skill learning simulation resource. Newly deceased, previously frozen, and soft-preserved cadavers, such as those used in Baltimore and Halifax, produce clinical cadavers with high physical and functional fidelity that can serve as simulators for performing many high-acuity procedures for which there is otherwise limited clinical or simulation opportunities to practice. While access and cost may limit the use of cadavers for simulation, there are opportunities for sharing resources to provide an innovative procedural learning experience using the oldest of medical simulation assets, the human body.
