Evaluation of a Multisensory Cueing System on Aviators' Performance: Impact of Tactile and Auditory Cueing Sensory Levels

Abstract

The present study sought to evaluate the utility of a multisensory cueing system on aviators' ability to maintain performance, their experience of workload, and its impact to their situation awareness. Four combinations of cueing sensitivities were evaluated: high auditory/low tactile, high auditory/high tactile, low auditory/low tactile, and low auditory/high tactile. From this study it was concluded that cueing configurations featuring low auditory sensitivity were preferred in terms of performance. Additionally, the majority of participants indicated preference of the configuration featuring low auditory/high tactile cueing, which was also reflected in their workload ratings and performance data.
