Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between the subcomponents of executive function and situation awareness.Methods:A total of 73 cadets of our school were selected to complete a flight simulation mission. The situation awareness rating technique (SART) scores, situation awareness global assessment technique (SAGAT) scores and flight performance were recorded as dependent variables. Spatial n-back task, Go/Nogo task, Stroop task and digital shifting task were used to measure the subcomponents of executive functions and perform independent multiple linear regression analysis as predictive variables.Results:Pearson correlation analysis showed that updating score was significantly and positively correlated with response inhibition, SART, SAGAT and flight performance ( r=0.235, 0.285, 0.298, 0.264, P=0.049, 0.016, 0.012, 0.025), response inhibition score was significantly and positively correlated with SAGAT and flight performance ( r=0.349, 0.243, P=0.003, 0.041), interference control score was only negatively correlated with cognitive shifting and flight performance ( r=-0.350, -0.235, P=0.003, 0.045), cognitive shifting score was significantly and positively correlated with SART, SAGAT and flight performance ( r=0.249, 0.275, 0.364, P=0.039, 0.019, 0.002). Further regression analysis indicated that updating score has a significant predictive effect on SART ( t=2.201, P=0.031), updating and response inhibition scores have significant predictive effects on SAGAT ( t=2.270, 2.546, P=0.026, 0.013), and updating and cognitive shifting scores have significant predictive effects on flight performance ( t=2.508, 2.553, P=0.015, 0.013). Conclusions:The subcomponents of executive function are significantly with the level of situation awareness and have predictive significance.
