Individual Differences in Cueing Utilization in Rotary-Wing Aviators

A preliminary qualitative review of participant comments from a series of three studies was completed. The three studies evaluated different aspects of multisensory cueing developed by the Army's Degraded Visual Environment-Mitigation program. A Template Analysis was used to identify themes across the studies in which participants identified aspects of the cueing that they preferred or did not prefer. Outcomes suggest that individual differences in perceived usefulness of cueing may exist. Further research, including qualitative analysis of additional studies and experimental research with a larger sample, is recommended.
