Selected authors were invited to expand on their presentation and, having the benefit of the interactions at the symposium, provide a state-of- the-art treatment of their topics. The first ISAP was held in recognition of the unique and difficult challenges posed by the aviation environment to the field of applied psychology. Dr. Richard Jensen convened the First Symposium on Aviation Psychology at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio in 1981. In the foreword to the proceedings, the goals were clearly laid out, “The objective of this symposium was to critically examine the impact of high technology on the role, responsibility, authority, and performance of human operators in modern aircraft and air traffic control systems.” This was a very ambitious objective for a small conference held in America’s heartland. Nevertheless, the first ISAP was a resounding success! There were 210 attendees for this first gathering and the Proceedings contained 43 papers and abstracts. Considered and debated were many of the central challenges of aviation, such as cockpit display and control design, automation, selection, workload, and performance assessment. The meeting was also successful in attracting participants from the varied communities that have a stake in aviation psychology, including participants from academia, the military, government regulatory agencies, and industry (including airframe manu- facturers and airlines) from around the world. A clear outcome of the first ISAP was the recognition that many challenges would remain and require diligent research in the future. It was also decided that a regular symposium on aviation psychology would provide a forum for encouraging focus on the evolving challenges of aviation psychology, con- solidating findings, and sharpening the debates central to the advance of a safe aviation environment. Consequently, a symposium has been held biennially since 1981. In 2003, the symposium was hosted in Dayton, Ohio, in conjunction with celebra- tions of the 100th Anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ first flight. Since 2009, the symposium has been managed through a collaboration between the Department of Psychology at Wright State University and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The present volume is a direct outgrowth of the 19th ISAP held at Wright State University i n 2017. The years separating the 1st and 19th symposia have witnessed both the enduring challenges and rapidly-changing technological advances confronting aviation psychology as well as the evolving theoretical and ix x Preface methodological psychological paradigms in meeting these challenges. The conference has continued to focus on the objectives outlined in the First Symposium and to attract broad participation that spans research and operational communities and includes a strong international contingent. The present volume highlights the inherently intricate involvement of human interaction with a vast and complex aviation system in order to accomplish a mission that the human is ill-equipped to accomplish without significant technological support. For example, care must be taken to ensure that the demands placed on any individual or team do not exceed their capa- bilities. Consequently, the interface design is a major concern
