TLDR
Mental workload and situational awareness are key concepts in aviation psychology and research combining these approaches will provide the most powerful test of the utility of mental workload and situation awareness as a meta-measure for characterizing the demands of aviation on human cognitive capabilities.Abstract:
The organizing principle behind this paper is that mental workload and situational awareness are key concepts in aviation psychology. The two concepts capture important aspects of the pilot's reactions to the current task environment and his or her performance. A complete understanding of the pilot's state requires that both mental workload and situation awareness must be measured. Research combining these approaches is important because it will provide the most powerful test of the utility of mental workload and situation awareness as a meta-measure for characterizing the demands of aviation on human cognitive capabilities.read more

Simulator training to automaticity leads to improved skill transfer compared with traditional proficiency-based training: a randomized controlled trial
TL;DR: Simulator training to automaticity takes more time but is superior to proficiency-based training, as it leads to improved skill acquisition and transfer.

Comparison of a brain-based adaptive system and a manual adaptable system for invoking automation.
TL;DR: The present results suggest that brain-based adaptive automation systems may enhance perceptual level SA while reducing mental workload relative to systems requiring user-initiated control.

Conceptualization and Measurement of Team Workload A Critical Need
TL;DR: Conception and measurement of team workload have not significantly matured alongside developments in individual workload, and as a research domain it remains open for contributions from interested and enterprising researchers.

A Coherent Impression of the Pilots' Situation Awareness: Studying Relevant Human Factors Tools
TL;DR: In this article, a flight simulator experiment was set up to study relevant human factors tools for situation awareness assessment of pilots and a specific scenario was designed in which a malfunction of the aircraft was introduced during flight: an indicated air speed discrepancy.

The Confluence of Situation Awareness and Mental Workload for Adaptable Human–Machine Systems:
TL;DR: It is argued that the use of the SA construct in conjunction with that of mental workload can further help specify the constraints and account for variance in human–system performance, especially that of heavily automated systems.
