Studying Cognition in the Airline Cockpit”
Social Science Supper Club
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012
5:30pm
“Studying Cognition in the Airline Cockpit”
Featuring Dr. Ed Hutchins—Professor of Cognitive Science
Founding faculty member of the Department of the Department of
Cognitive Science at UCSD
Co-director of the Distributed Cognition & Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory
Have you ever found yourself on a seat on an airliner wondering what was going on behind the cockpit door? UC San Diego’s Ed Hutchins draws on more than 20 years experience researching the cognition of airline flight crews to take us behinds the locked door. Modern airliners are highly automated systems. There is no doubt that increasing automation has been accompanied by improvements in flight safety. But automation also brings new kinds of problems to the flight deck. What are the cognitive consequences of flight deck automation? In this presentation, Ed Hutchins will describe a number of studies that illustrates ways to answer this question. He will describe his entry into the global community of pilots through the ethnographic methods and participant observation. He will discuss the challenges of designing and evaluating new cockpit displays, documenting what pilots know about the automation in their airplanes, how they go about learning what they know, and finally, how we can use state-of-the-art sensor technology and computational techniques to accelerate the analysis of flight crew behavior.
Supper Club events include a wine reception, full dinner, and Faculty Club parking in addition to the lecture.
