Enhancing practice design is critical to facilitate transfer of learning. Considerable research has focused on the role of perceptual information in practice simulation, yet has neglected how affect and cognition are shaped by practice environments and whether this influences the fidelity of behavior (Headrick et al., 2015). This study filled this gap by examining the fidelity of individual (co...

Years of training, practice and unique skills are required for a Fighter pilot to perform demanding challenging operations in technologically cutting-edge aircraft. To provide concise overview physical fitness, muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) GZexposure their interaction fighter pilots. A search PubMed, CINHAL, Google scholar database was conducted find relevant studies pertaining pilots, cer...

The conditional expression of alternative phenotypes underlies the production of almost all life history decisions and many dichotomous traits, including male alternative reproductive morphs and behavioral tactics. Changes in tactic fitness should lead to evolutionary shifts in developmental switch points that underlie tactic expression. We used experimental evolution to directly test this hypo...

INTRODUCTION Many countries have hypergravity training centers using centrifuges for pilots to cope with a high gravity (G) environment. The high G training carries potential risk for the development of spinal injury. However, no studies evaluated the influence of centrifuge training on the spines of asymptomatic fighter pilots on a large scale. METHODS Study subjects were 991 male fighter pi...

Intralocus sexual conflict (IASC) prevents males and females from reaching their disparate phenotypic optima and is widespread, but little is known about its genetic underpinnings. In Rhizoglyphus robini, a mite species with alternative male morphs, elevated sexual dimorphism of the armored fighter males (compared to more feminized scramblers males) was previously reported to be associated with...

How could computer games be used to augment training for fighter pilots? This paper is aimed at providing one answer to this research question. Three current methods of training fighter pilots are: working in the actual aircraft, working with high fidelity aircraft simulators, and working with desktop computer based courseware systems. All of these approaches have strengths and weaknesses. This...
