In the working memory
visual and spatial information are processed in the
visuospatial sketchpad
while verbal information are processed in the
phonological loop.
The one thing that really defines decision making is time
Hence, critical to good decision making is having good time management and the ability to prioritise
(Singleman, 2019).
Where are the two information picked up by our eyes and ears stored at
The information picked up by our eyes and ears are stored in the iconic and echoic memories.
Our sensory memory is unlimited but it is easily lost with distraction.
There are two main categories in long-term memory: explicit and implicit memories.
Sometimes,
they are also known as declarative memories based on
knowledge/facts and
non-declarative or procedural memories based on skills.
When a person ages, the lens of the eyes become clouded.
Hence, the lens a 75 years old is only able to transmit one third of the amount of light compared to a 15-year old
When visually inspecting aircraft for faults
The object should also not be obstructed. Hence, the arc for
accurate vision is about 10 degrees either side of the centre
With repeated stimulation or practice
the pre-synaptic neuron gets better at
sending signals to a specific post-synaptic neuron
As the synapses are
strengthened, we are able to recall previous experiences.
The aural reflex can help reduce noise
reduce noise level by up to 20 dB for a maximum of 15
minutes.
A safety culture is paramount in any organisation (RAeS, 2006).

self-motivation can be enhanced by giving workers (and
students) the perception of competence,
telling them about the consequences that
drive us and allowing them the choice to make their own decisions.
According to Hudson (2001) Safety Culture
A true safety culture is one that transcends the calculative level, where the individual and management are fully involved in human factors and error management.
According to Hudson (2014). 2 diff questions
a reactive culture has good reporting systems and communication strategies in place, exhibit a pro-active culture.
safety culture is primarily driven by management. While the proactive and generative culture involve workforce
