Flight skill loss due to the overuse of automation has become an industry concern. Aircraft accidents have been attributed to pilots' inability to manage their aircraft in manual flight resulting from unexpected changes in automation and loss of situation awareness. While aviation experts have associated these accidents to diminished stick and rudder skills from the overuse of automation, the problem may be attributed to how pilots are trained in automated aircraft. The FAA has encouraged pilots to manually fly to improve skills; however, limited opportunities for manual flight exist in the current international environment, with potentially less opportunities in the future due to NextGen compliance. A critical view of pilot training identifies how airlines could train pilots in modern day aircraft to maximize safety. The benefit of computer-based training to teach operating procedures, fixed based simulators versus level D full flight simulators, redesigning training programs to improve pilots' understanding through cognitive load theory, and the power of repetition will be addressed.

The Developed Countries

Background: At present, the number of older people is growing, especially in the developed countries where the living conditions enable a longer life expectancy. However, the higher age may result in the aging diseases such as dementia out which Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most frequent. Nevertheless, to maintain them both physically and mentally active, more assistance is required. Objective: The purpose of this study is to discuss the efficacy of the use of modern information technologies, especially computer-based training programs, on people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Results: Although the results from the selected studies do not indicate that the computer-based training programs are effective in the delay of cognitive decline is concerned, they suggest that these computerbased training programs are at least appropriate for the improvement of their behavioural symptoms and progression of the disease. Conclusion: Generally, these technological devices may contribute to the reduction of patients´ and their caregivers´ costs and certain flexibility, and thus the improvement of the quality of their life.

The Impact

The largest cause of novice driver crashes is their inexperience, causing both failures to anticipate hazards and to maintain attention to the forward roadway. A number of computer-based training programs have been shown to improve novice drivers’ hazard anticipation and attention maintenance skills. The Engaged Driver Training System (EDTS) is a computer tablet-based program targeted at teaching novice drivers both, to anticipate latent hazards and decrease distracting activities in the presence of such hazards. Previous simulator testing of EDTS has found it to be effective at improving latent hazard anticipation and decreasing distraction. This current study extends that research by conducting an on-road evaluation of EDTS, and by examining the impact of training parents along with their teens. This evaluation found that EDTS-trained teens showed better hazard anticipation on-road than the placebo-trained teens. Teens who participated with their parents in training identified a higher proportion of latent hazards than teens who did not participate with their parents, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Value Of Learning

This entry is a brief survey of the learning-theory field as it relates to educational technology, primarily focused on behavioral and constructivist educational theorists. According to some scholars, both have praised technology and perhaps exaggerated its promise (Berg, 2002; Duffy & Jonassen, 1994). Some point out that computers may finally provide the means by which the very labor-intensive education philosophy of Dewey may be put into practice. On the other side, behaviorists have long held a dominant position in the field of computer-based training (CBT) with the tireless repetition and utilization of clear behavioral learning objectives, key elements of these training programs. In more recent times, those interested in concept mapping, the value of learning computer programming, and simulations have all to some degree based their approaches on behaviorism or constructivism.

SummaryThe present paper deals with computer based training approaches in psychiatric rehabilitation. First an overview of programs is presented, which are currently available on the software market in Germany and appear suitable for the training of patients with information processing (including sensorimotor) deficits. Then a description follows dealing with a clinical setting which may serve to illustrate how computer based cognitive training can be organized in a group format. Finally a couple of clinical studies which have aimed to determine the efficacy of PC based training programs in schizophrenic patients are briefly reviewed.
