战斗机飞行员基本认知能力年龄差异及对飞行的影响

Age difference in basic cognitive ability of fighter pilots and its influence upon flying

目的探讨战斗机飞行员基本认知能力年龄差异及其对飞行训练的影响。方法对象为１２０名健康男性战斗机飞行员，年龄２３岁～４０岁。采用的７项反映基本认知能力的纸笔测验是识符检数、找规律填数、填写数据、找特殊图形、加法计算、比较刻度值和判别方向。对６个不同年龄组的战斗机飞行员的认知作业成绩差异和飞行能力与飞行训练成绩差异进行Ｆ检验。结果与飞行关系密切的找特殊图形、加法计算、比较刻度值和判别方向４项认知作业成绩存在非常显著性的年龄差异（Ｆ＝４．７５～１４．３１，Ｐ＜０．００１）。不同年龄飞行员的飞行能力和飞行训练成绩差异无显著性。结论战斗机飞行员的计算、表象旋转、仪表认读和方位判断等与飞行有关的基本认知能力有明显的年龄差异。但这种年龄差异尚未对飞行带来严重影响。

Objective To investigate the age difference in basic cognitive ability of fighter pilots and its influence upon flying training. Methods One hundred and twenty fighter pilots with age ranging from 23 to 40 served as subject. Seven paper and pencil tests——recognition regulation (RR),regularity array (RA),simulating keyboard input (SKI),detecting special graph (DSG),addition calculation (AC), comparing simulated scales (CSS) , and distinguishing direction (DD) were adopted for evaluation of cognitive ability.Differences of marks in cognitive tests,grades of flying ability and flying training among six different age groups were examined by F test. Results The marks of 4 cognitive tests (DSG,AC,CSS and DD) had very significant age differences ( F=4.75～14.31,P <0.001). But the age differences of grades in flying abilities and flying training were nonsignificant. Conclusion The basic cognitive abilities related to flying such as calculating,image rotating,instrument distinguishing and direction distinguishing ,had very significant age differences.But the age differences in cognitive ability did not influence upon flying training and flying ability evidently.
