“…In any event, there has been a striking lack of aeromedical speculation regarding left-handedness. This absence Is all the more surprising given the long quest for successful predictors of student pilot aptitude (202). The exhaustive testing of selection criteria for flight school admission Included such esoteric factors as eye color, head circumference, startle reflexes, and types of dreams (26), but It was not until relatively recently that data on handedness were even collected.…”

A new technique for measuring individual differences in basic attention capabilities and the validity of these differences in predicting success in flight training were investigated. The testing system included a digit-processing, reaction-time task and a one-dimensional compensatory tracking task. Comparisons were made between separate and concurrent performances of thesetasks, with both equal and shifting task priorities. Adaptive techniques were employed to obtain maximum performance levels for each subject in the single-task condition and to maintain dual-task difficulty within subjects. Consistent individual differences in basic attention capabilities were observed and several dimensions of attention capabilities are suggested. A preliminary validation study compared scores for flight instructors and student pilots. In addition, the student sample was dichotomized based on performance in training. There were reliable differences for both groups on dual-task performance efficiency.
