TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Boundaries of cognitive performance as a function of age and flight experience JO - International journal of aviation psychology A1 - Tsang, P. S. A1 - Voss, D. T. SP - 359 EP - 377 VL - 6 IS - 4 N2 - Age and expertise effects on time-sharing performance were examined. Pilots were considered to have an expertise in time-sharing because of their cockpit experience. Ninety pilots and nonpilots performed a battery of cognitive tasks that represented different aspects of piloting. The results revealed that time-sharing performance was age sensitive. However, expertise appeared to have some moderating influence on the age effects. Further, analysis of the overlap of the response distributions from different age groups suggested that age alone was not a definitive discriminator of an individual's time-sharing skill.
