Event Details and Registration

Expect a deep dive into cognition—showing its gradual progression from theoretical basics to actionable training techniques and safety strategies. Emphasizing advanced cognition, the presentation builds a bridge from understanding your fundamental processes to applying practical tools that improve decision-making under pressure. The major takeaway is an enhanced DECIDE model, specifically designed to meet the demands of today’s complex airspace and aircraft, ensuring that you are equipped with a dynamic, reflective, and robust framework for safe flight operations.  A workshop session will apply these techniques to a real-world scenario.  You should download and review the "Event Documents" at the bottom of this announcement to maximize your benefit from this seminar.

Session builds upon the February 2025 Information Processing seminar and will include:

• Overview of foundational cognitive theory and the standard human information processing model.
• Introduction to dual-process strategy of working memory vs long-term memory and common cognitive biases.
• Strategies for managing cognitive load using techniques like “chunking” and utilizing external aids.
• Integration of real-time biometric feedback and performance metrics into cockpit operations.
• Enhancing Crew Resource Management (CRM) with metacognitive debriefs and open discussion.
• Hands on workshop to apply these advanced concepts to a real world scenario.

This session delves into the world of advanced cognitive processing, revealing how a deeper understanding of your decision-making can enhance safety and performance in today’s complex airspace. Learn how fundamental cognitive theories translate into actionable training techniques and safety strategies that address modern cockpit challenges. By integrating cutting-edge insights into cognitive load management and metacognition, we’ll guide you step by step through a progression from foundational theory to practical applications culminating in an enhanced DECIDE model—crafted to meet the demands of advanced avionics and complex, evolving airspace environments.
