Perceptual Style and Air-to-Air Tracking Performance.

摘要

The relationship between perceptual style and tracking of a target was examined. Four pilots were given the Embedded Figures Test to assess their degree of field-dependence or independence. They then flew in a helicopter simulator and attempted to track an airborne target. A significant correlation was found between perceptual style and tracking performance. Field-independent subjects were able to track the target for longer periods than field-dependent subjects.
