Abstract:

The initial validation of the concept of the Functional Age Profile for aviators is reported. This concept is based on objective performance parameters assessed by a computer-based information processing test battery. Preliminary results suggest that the Functional Age Profile may be an indicator of attentional resource capacity in flight simulator performance. Author
