“…However, instructors training on one type of simulator had no symptoms of SS, while on the other simulator type the instructors were more vulnerable than students [17]. The influence of the task performed was studied by Mullen et al [12]. It was encountered, that the complexity of the task is an essential factor which influences the occurrence of the disease.…”

“…Similarly, according to the literature [23], the main difference between the simulator sickness and motion sickness is that the latter occurs in the simulators with moving platform. According to publications [12,10,24] simulator sickness which occurs in simulators with moving platform is the same as fixed base simulator. This finding is different to publications [6,25], where the authors examine the simulator sickness in moving platforms without referring to motion sickness term.…”

“…The extensive research of Mullen et al [12] was undertaken to investigate the relation between individual characteristics of simulator users such as gender, age, physical form. In this study, more than 200 pilots 23÷42 years old were tested on a helicopter simulator.…”

“…Jarvis et al [42] investigated how different configurations of the screen, motion and other conditions may affect the simulation of the appearance of the SS. External screens were used in the simulation in the literature [12], where it was used for the fixed platform simulator (car) without a cab with the screen of 135 degrees. The display is made up of three LCD monitors.…”

“…If all aspects of the simulation will be performed correctly and satisfy the requirements suited to the needs of user, all symptoms of simulators will be referred to as motion sickness. Mullen et al [12] classified simulators due to the occurrence of the SS. The less frequently the simulator sickness occurs, the simulator was classified as better.…”

Recently, simulators find application not only in the aeronautics, but also in other fields of technology, like robotics, marine etc. Computer-based trainings are offered almost with every modern technology product placed in the market. In the paper the application of simulators to train pilots of mobile platforms (like aircraft, cars, sea-vessels) is considered. The simulator sickness appears due to difficulties in simulating the motion and environment "properly" in the simulator. Similar symptoms, called a virtual reality sickness may be observed within the community of computer game players. The main reason for occurrence of the simulator sickness is that external stimuli (motion and/or vision) give misleading information to a human brain. The aim of this research was to find the relation between the architecture and the technical parameters of different types of simulators and occurrence of the simulator sickness. The focus of this study is the architecture of the simulator and its technical parameters that may influence unfavorable operator reactions during training, such as moving platform, screen size, simulated models, graphics quality, etc. The paper is based on a wide literature review, and it is an introduction to the future experimental research.

Stereotype Threat Impairs Older Adult Driving

SummaryStereotypes can harm human performance, especially when activated in individuals with diminished working memory capacity (WMC). Performance implications for the stereotype of poor driving in older adults were investigated. Using a sample of older adults, WMC (the ability to maintain task goals and ignore distractions) and driving performance [brake reaction time (RT), following distance, and crashes] were assessed, the latter using a high‐fidelity simulator. Elderly participants under stereotype threat with reduced WMC exhibited slower brake RTs and longer following distances compared with a control condition that was not threatened. This driving profile was characteristic of cognitive distraction. Stereotype threat has clear consequences for human performance in a common real‐world task—driving—that is critical to public safety. Furthermore, these findings suggest caution in how the media and public policy communicate information about older adult driving.Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
