This study examined efficiency of pilots' behavior in condition of visual illusion od false horizon. It has been assumed that visual illusion of false horizon tends to produce spatial disorientation.Efficiency of execution of flight's profile in conditions of spatial disorientation was analyzed in context of FDI. Additionally, efficiency of attention and working memory were analyzed. 29 pilots participated in the experiment (air-raid 1229, 14 hours +/- 844,26; age 32,97; +/- 6,56). Efficiency of execution of flight profile has been defined on simulator YAPETUS based on indicators of course - variability of rate. Styles of perception, efficiency of attentions and efficiency of working memory were researched by means of computer tasks. It appears that false horizon illusion influence the efficiency of pilot's behavior. In conditions of cognitive conflict: visual field - navigational instruments, younger pilots and pilots with FINT style of perception (mobile FD and fixed FI), lower efficiency of selective and divided attention, less resistance to distraction, weak mechanism of inhibition and lower efficiency of updating working memory, were most strongly exposed to disorientation.
The purpose of this study is to present the relationship between imagination and syllogistic reasoning. Research has been based on Philip Johnson-Laird's mental models theory which enables us to see interdependence between imagination and this particular kind of thinking – syllogistic reasoning. Cognitive psychology makes it possible to look for relationships between using certain rules of logical reasoning and functioning of imagination. It is imagination that lets us transform what is not visible. Imagination, therefore, can be helpful in drawing conclusions. Research presented here shows the relationship between the efficiency of spatial imagination and capacity for syllogistic reasoning.
