Extract

The question posed by the symposium title is one of concern to many psychologists, especially those with interests in the study of high levels of human skill. The area of flight simulation does however present a number of challenges in terms of research questions, which are at present only partially answered.

There are at least three areas of simulator use where psychologists have interests and have a part to play:

  • Man-machine system development

  • Research simulators

  • Training simulators.

Type
SYMPOSIUM ON “Is Flight simulation of academic interest?”
