“…The probe question is then administered right after the ready prompt has been accepted. Durso et al (2006) noted that this procedure yields three important measures: a ready latency (response latency between the appearance of a ready prompt and when the operator indicates that s/he is ready), a probe response latency (response latency between the presentation of the question and operator response), and a probe accuracy score. The ready latency is considered to be a measurement of workload because the operator should be able to indicate that s/he is ready more quickly when s/he is not busy compared to when s/he is busy.…”

This study compared pilot situation awareness across three traffic management concepts. The Concepts varied in terms of the allocation of traffic avoidance responsibility between the pilot on the flight deck, the air traffic controllers, and a conflict resolution automation system. In Concept 1, the flight deck was equipped with conflict resolution tools that enable them to fully handle the responsibility of weather avoidance and maintaining separation between ownship and surrounding traffic. In Concept 2, pilots were not responsible for traffic separation, but were provided tools for weather and traffic avoidance. In Concept 3, flight deck tools allowed pilots to deviate for weather, but conflict detection tools were disabled. In this concept pilots were dependent on ground based automation for conflict detection and resolution. Situation awareness of the pilots was measured using online probes. Results showed that individual situation awareness was highest in Concept 1, where the pilots were most engaged, and lowest in Concept 3, where automation was heavily used. These findings suggest that for conflict resolution tasks, situation awareness is improved when pilots remain in the decision-making loop.

“…Patterns in the data reveal that latencies were greater when accuracy scores were lower, thus the data does not reflect a speed accuracy trade-off, but imply that the response latencies reflect SA [13].…”

“…Probe techniques have been identified as the most promising of the measures because they are sensitive to the operator and task environment [12] and can provide diagnostic information regarding the cause(s) of poor SA. The Situation Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT) and Situation Present Awareness Method (SPAM) are two commonly used SA probe techniques [7] [13]. SAGAT questions are administered by stopping the scenario at random intervals so that SA probes do not interfere with the current tasks.…”

Abstract. This study compared situation awareness across three flight deck decision aiding modes. Pilots resolved air traffic conflicts using a click and drag software tool. In the automated aiding condition, pilots executed all resolutions generated by the automation. In the interactive condition, automation suggested a maneuver, but pilots had the choice of accepting or modifying the provided resolution. In the manual condition pilots generated resolutions independently. A technique that combines both Situation Global Assessment Technique and Situation Present Awareness Method was used to assess situation awareness. Results showed that situation awareness was better in the Manual and Interactive conditions when compared to the Automated condition. The finding suggests that pilots are able to maintain greater situation awareness when they are actively engaged in the conflict resolution process.

“…The fact that SPAM is consistent with situated SA may explain why it has often been found to be a better predictor of performance than SAGAT (Durso et al 1998, Durso et al 2006, Pierce et al 2008. Durso et al (2006), for example, compared the incremental validity of these two techniques using an ATC simulation task.…”

Situation awareness (SA) is the understanding required to operate a complex system in a highly dynamic environment. We evaluate theories of individual SA and the processes by which individuals maintain their understanding of a situation. We support a situated approach, which holds that individual operators make use of limited internal representation, and rely extensively on interactions with external props and tools to achieve and maintain SA. We also propose a synthesis of Durso et al. (2007) [Durso, F., Rawson, K., and Girotto, S., 2007. Comprehension and situation awareness. In: F. Durso, et al., eds. Handbook of applied cognition. 2nd ed. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, 163-194.] Construction-Integration model of scene analysis with Sperber and Wilson's (1995) [Sperber, D. and Wilson, D., 1995. Relevance: communication and cognition. 2nd ed.Oxford: Blackwell.] Relevance Theory of comprehension. We show that the combination of the two theories can provide a more complete account of the mechanisms and processes underlying situation assessment, or sense-making, and is consistent with the situated approach to SA.

Does Situation Awareness Add to the Validity of Cognitive Tests?

Abstract: On-line measures of SA can be a worthwhile addition to standard batteries of tests used to predict performance in cognitively oriented industrial tasks.
