Building upon previous research, this study examined the relationship between the deployment of spatial resources in the performance of spatial tasks and the level of spatial ability possessed by subjects. Ten Air Force Academy cadets, classified as either high or low in spatial ability by paper and pencil measures, performed tasks that presumably demanded spatial resources. Both the baseline and dual task level of performance was superior for the high spatial ability group. These findings are related to a variable capacity model of processing resources.

Approximately equal number of male (45) and female (43) Air Force Academy cadets learned a complex aerial maneuver (chandelle) on a desk-top flight simulator. These cadets had participated in a previous experiment (Koonce & Berry, 1980) where they were given a battery of tests which tapped several cognitive and perceptual-motor areas. Of special interest in the present study was the relationship of the various congitive factors to the rate of acquisition of the complex aerial maneuver. Prior to the introduction of the complex maneuver all subjects were trained to criterion level on four basic instrument flight maneuvers (Koonce & McCley, 1980). Then they learned how to fly the complex maneuver with the number of trials required to reach criterion performance as the dependent variable. Results indicated cognitive factors were very significant in predicting complex maneuver performance. Additionally, individually tailoring the regression equations by sex as opposed to utilizing a general overall regression equation greatly enhanced predictive capability.

AbstractThis research aims to determine the relationship between optimism and grit on the Air Force Academy (AAU) cadet candidates (catar) in Lanud 'X' city of Bandung. There were 104 respondents who participated in this study with ages ranging from 18-21 years. This study uses a correlation research design. The optimism questionaire is compiled by researchers themselves based on the theory of optimism by Seligman (2006). Researchers used grit questionaire designed by Prameswari and Vivekananda (2017) based on Duckworth's grit theory (2007). The data analysis technique used in this study was theta wilcoxon correlation test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between optimism and grit with a correlation coefficient of 0.324, which means it has moderate relationship strength. This means that an optimistic catar views in the face of both good and bad events will be accompanied by a high degree of grit and vice versa. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan optimisme dan grit calon taruna Akademi Angkatan Udara (AAU) di Lanud ‘X’ kota Bandung. Terdapat 104 responden yang berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini dengan rentang usia dari 18-21 tahun. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian korelasi. Alat ukur optimisme menggunakan alat ukur yang peneliti susun sendiri berdasarkan teori optimisme Seligman (2006). Untuk alat ukur grit, peneliti menggunakan alat ukur yang di rancang oleh Prameswari dan Vivekananda (2017) berdasarkan teori grit Duckworth (2007). Teknik analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan uji korelasi Theta Wilcoxon. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara optimis dan grit dengan nilai koefisien korelasi 0,324 yang berarti memiliki kekuatan hubungan yang tergolong sedang. Ini berarti bahwa pandangan catar yang optimis dalam menghadapi kejadian baik maupun kejadian buruk akan disertai dengan derajat grit yang tinggi begitu pula sebaliknya.

Thirty Air Force Academy cadets, 15 males and 15 females, participated in an experiment designed to investigate the relationship between certain cognitive abilities, gender and the acquisition and transfer of basic flying skills. Subjects were classified into low, medium and high groups based on their scores on tests measuring spatial relations and visualization. Males and females were matched within the groups. Results suggest classification removes previous apparent gender differences in psychomotor performance.
