Abstract:A Predictive Model of Cognitive Performance under Acceleration StressExtreme acceleration maneuvers encountered in modern agile fighter aircraft can wreak havoc on human physiology thereby significantly influencing cognitive task performance. Increased acceleration causes a shift in local arterial blood pressure and profusion causing declines in regional cerebral oxygen saturation. As oxygen content continues to decline, activity of high order cortical tissue reduces to ensure sufficient metabolic resources ar… Show more
“…This task refers to the ability to " perceive and process both the motion of an object and the estimate trend information so as to predict its position at a future point in time even when direct line-of-sight cannot be maintained continuously, " ( 14 ). Part of this superior performance may result from improved reaction times acquired through extended video game play and is supported by previous fi ndings from Clark, Lanphear, and Riddick ( 4 ).…”
Cognitive skills learned in video game play may transfer to novel environments and improve performance in UAS tasks over individuals with no video game experience.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
