“…Perceived stress may lead to a disregard for safety measures, operational procedures, and teamwork and can lead to a higher probability of accident 19 . The results of the current study are inconsistent with the previous studies 20 . They have explored that stress has a major impact on the performance of skilled and trained pilots.…”

The pilots’ attitude and its influence on flying performance have an imperative bearing on flight safety. Recent studies suggest that attitude and stress correlate with flying performance and could be one of the many factors, which contribute to accidents or incidents. The objective of the current research was to study the relationship between aviation safety attitude, flight experience, perceived stress, and hazardous event involvement among aviators. The study also investigated whether aviation safety attitude, perceived stress, and flying experience predict the hazardous event involvement of aviators or not. It was hypothesised that less flying experience, perceived stress, and aviation safety attitude will predict the hazardous event involvement of aviators. The data was collected from 360 aviators by using the aviation safety attitude scale, hazardous event scale, and perceived stress scale. Correlation and regression analysis were used for analysing the obtained data. The findings of the study indicated that flight experience and safety attitude are significantly negatively correlated with hazardous event involvement and perceived stress is significantly positively associated with hazardous event involvement. In addition to this, aviation safety attitude, perceived stress, and flying experience were found to be strong predictors of hazardous event involvement. The findings of the study will help in building effective training programs as accidents can be prevented by improved pilot training involving perceived stress and attitude identification and management.

“…IC is defined as the active suppression of interference or prepotent responses and consists of response inhibition and conflict inhibition. Poor IC in healthy individuals is inversely correlated with the performance of important tasks, such as military actions ( Biggs et al, 2015 ; Brunyé et al, 2020 ) and driving and flighting in traffic accidents ( Mäntylä et al, 2009 ; Dismukes et al, 2018 ; Hamilton et al, 2019 ; Yan et al, 2021 ). Furthermore, deficits in IC are commonly observed in patients with neurological disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ( Re et al, 2015 ; Scionti et al, 2019 ; Einziger et al, 2021 ), autism spectrum disorder ( Yuk et al, 2020 ), and mild cognitive impairment ( Rabi et al, 2020 ; Yuk et al, 2020 ).…”

Training and Transfer Effects of Combining Inhibitory Control Training With Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Healthy Adults

et al. 2022

Inhibitory control training (ICT) is a promising method to improve individual performance of inhibitory control (IC). Recent studies have suggested transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) as a novel approach to affect cognitive function owing to its ability to modulate the locus coeruleus-noradrenaline system. To examine the synergistic effects of combining ICT with tVNS, 58 young males in college were randomly assigned to four groups: ICT + tVNS, ICT + sham tVNS, sham ICT + tVNS, and sham ICT + sham tVNS. Participants were instructed to complete three sessions that comprised pre-training tests, a training session, and post-training tests sequentially. Results showed that the ICT + tVNS group significantly improved training and near-transfer effects on the stop-signal and Go/No-go tasks, and these effects were larger than those of the other groups. However, none of the groups exhibited the far-transfer effect on the color-word Stroop task. These results suggest that tVNS augments the intervention effects of training and similar inhibition tasks to achieve the synergistic effect; however, it does not modulate the effects of non-training tasks and obtain the far-transfer effect. ICT combined with tVNS may be a valuable intervention for improving IC in healthy individuals in certain industries and offers novel research ideas for using tVNS for cognitive improvement.

“…In much laboratory research, ecological validity like this can become an issue. As the threat‐potentiation aspect of the startle response seems to lead to long‐lasting stress and greater cognitive effects (Dismukes et al., 2015; Martin et al., 2015), it becomes very hard to concretely examine the effects of this scientifically. It is not ethically acceptable to bring participants into a lab and induce a startle that is comparable to one experienced in actual threatening scenarios.…”

The relation of neuroticism to physiological and behavioral stress responses induced by auditory startle

et al. 2022

Introduction The negative cognitive effects of the startle response are not yet fully understood. Ecological observations in the aviation field indicate risk for severe outcomes in complex or pressured situations, while sparse previous research suggests milder negative effects on simple cognitive tasks. Neuroticism is proposed as a factor related to the level of negative effects following startle. Methods This study examined the effects of startle on performance in a choice reaction time task and analyzed relations between performance, neuroticism, and physiological stress. Results Our results indicate that reaction time directly following startle was not affected, but reaction time in subsequent trials was significantly slower. Neuroticism and physiological stress were both unrelated to this performance effect. Discussion We argue that higher complexity/demand tasks are necessary to complement the research on base cognitive functioning in relation to startle. If neuroticism is related to startle effects, this is more likely to be found in these higher demand situations.
