An observational study in Cognitive Impairment, Situational Anxiety and Skills, Coping, sponsored by Direction Centrale du Service de Santé des Armées. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-02-18.
Sponsored by Direction Centrale du Service de Santé des Armées · Observational
The aim of this study is to identify the effect of the increase of the situation demands, with or without a thread, on military helicopter pilot's cognitive load, depending on their skills acquisition (at the beginning, midway and end of training course). This study is carried out on a simulator, in virtual reality and allows to identify the moments of cognitive load enhancement and the associated indicators such as subjective, physiological and behavioural indicators. Recommendations will be done to go towards an individualization of the lessons during the pilots education, by anticipating an overload which has a deleterious effect on learning.

Exclusion Criteria:
Subjective level of cognitive load
The NASA-TLX questionnaire is used to assess the subjective level of cognitive load
Time frame: It is completed during 5 minutes after each of the six scenarios
Objective level of cognitive load
It is measures by physiological indicators ( cardiac activity and electroencephalogram) and behavioural indicators (tasks performance, ocular saccades and blinks)
Time frame: It is measured during each of the six scenarios lasting around 5 minutes
Subjective level of anxiety
It is measured by a visual analogue scale
Time frame: It is measured during 1 minute after each of the six scenarios
Objective level of anxiety
It is measured by the electrodermal activity
Time frame: It is measured during each of the six scenarios lasting around 5 minutes
Subjective level of fatigue
It is measured by the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale
Time frame: It is measured during 1 minute before each of the six scenarios
