This study explored predictors of situation awareness (SA) and predictors of irrelevant information in a complex task. Thirty-one participants were tested on personality, a little-known situation awareness test, working memory, inattentional blindness (IB), and inattentional insensitivity (IIS) as predictors of situation awareness and performance in a driving simulator. The two IIS conditions were visual (IB) and tactile. Participants were paid $25 for about a 1 ½ hour commitment. During the driving simulator scenario, participants answered 10 questions (half related to the driving task and half not critical to safe driving performance). More relevant questions were answered correctly than irrelevant questions. However, few predictors were shown for SA (relevant questions), but IB, and personality variables predicted response time for irrelevant questions. Tactile IIS was found to be better for performance on one of the SA tests and resulted in fewer errors in one of the tactile IIS tasks.

“…A growing body of literature has shown that cognitive abilities are good predictors of safety performance in many occupations such as administrative clerks, industrial workers, law enforcement officers, and military personnel [16,[18][19][20]. In the transportation industry, previous studies suggested that cognitive abilities, especially multiobject tracking and working memory, are associated with air traffic controllers' (ATC) behavior and safety performance [21,22]. Besides, researchers have found that attention, speed anticipation, and performance stability are the significant indicators of HSR train drivers' safety performance [23].…”

Cognitive abilities are good predictors of safety performance in many occupations. However, this correlation has not been studied from the perspective of high-speed railway (HSR) dispatchers who play a vital role in ensuring the safety and punctuality of HSR transportation system. Therefore, studying factors affecting HSR dispatchers’ safety performance is not only of great importance in filling the theoretical gap, but also conducive to the selection and training of dispatchers, contributing to the reduction of human errors and the prevention of railway accidents. In this study, a total of 118 HSR dispatchers from a branch of China Railway were recruited to complete the tests that examined their cognitive abilities related to the dispatching job, including logical reasoning, visual multiobject tracking, working memory, task switching, and cognitive flexibility. Safety performance, including both the safety evaluation score obtained from the dispatchers’ monthly safety performance record of the Railway Bureau and the emergency disposal performance indicated by train delay time, was evaluated with a dispatch simulator. The results suggested that better abilities in visual multiobject tracking, working memory, task switching, and cognitive flexibility were correlated with higher safety evaluation score (reflecting daily safety performance) and shorter train delay time (reflecting safety and efficiency in emergency disposal). No significant correlation was found in logical reasoning. These findings support the recommendation that cognitive abilities investigated as predictors of safety performance could be useful for the selection and training of HSR dispatchers.
