Our research on grant no. NASA NAG 2-1120 entitled Attention Based Display Design for Terminal Area Operations has addressed a variety of themes related to pilot information processing. At the most global level, we have developed theories and principles of pilot attention that can help inform the design and layout of displays for 3D aircraft navigation through hazardous airspace, and can help the designer in harnessing the appropriate automation tools to support that navigation. One way of parsing this work in more detail is to contrast the theoretical review articles that have been generated, with the empirical studies (whose data, in part, have contributed to those theoretical reviews). Lying between theoretical review and empirical data, are a smaller subset of articles that have focused explicitly on quantitative models of pilot information processing. A second way of parsing the work, is in terms of the kinds of pilot information processing activities that attention is designed to support, in a way that is related jointly to the kinds of pilot tasks (e.g., control/guidance versus hazard awareness, versus navigational planning) and the kinds of technology (e.g., HUDs, datalink displays, CDTIs). / NOTE: Final technical rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Moffett Field, CA.
