Abstract

A major portion of the research conducted throughout the history of aviation psychology has been devoted to the analysis and design of cockpit displays. Military and commercial aviators, as well as the travelling public, have significantly benefited from many years of research that have produced displays that facilitate safe and effective crewmember performance. As Koonce (1984) pointed out, the human performance issues raised in the early days of aviation attracted the research attention of some of the most prominent experimental psychologists of the day. As we enter the 21st century, aviation psychology remains one of the most vital areas in applied psychological research, and the design of advanced cockpit displays still serves as a focal point for innovative research programs and paradigms.
