Milladavid a decision making is a selection between options it's the same concept 'between options' as 'between different options' since an human decision is based in the own experience or concepts the best way that you think to achieve a goal we can call it a subjective choice otherwise if you are objective you are following a stipulated way or procedure you can't decide between options so you aren't using your own criterya choice is a choice it is based on options which are subjective or objective

Neither.

The final stage of sleep is the rem rapid eye movement sleep in this stage the brain activity is the same as you would get from an individual that is awake the eyes twitch rapidly rem but the muscles are completely relaxed rem sleep is also known as paradoxical sleep because apart from the relaxed muscles and the closed eyes it is as if the person is awakefirst bout of rem paradoxical sleep occurs for about 10 minutes as the sleep cycle continues throughout the night rem sleep becomes longer a typical night sleep will contain four or five rem cycles rem sleep increases when learning new skills it seems to be a way of strengthening and organising memory whereas slow wave sleep increases after exercise and is associated with the restoration of the body and the reconstitution of neuron energy reserves

It holds information for immediate use and is limited in its capacity for storing and retaining data.

exemple 347: It holds information for immediate use and is limited in its capacity for storing and retaining data
It holds information for immediate use, and is limited in terms of the time for which it retains data but not in its storage capacity. it is a stable form of working memory, and thus not very sensitive to any disturbance. it stores mainly procedural knowledge (skills).

Question 147-27 : Which of the following statements is false ?

Stress has essentially negative effects and the human will operate efficiently with an absence of stress.

Some stress can have good effects on human performance we operate less efficiently with zero stress but as stress increases our performance level improves to an optimum point but only then does an increase in stress degrade performancethe other statements are true
exemple 351: Stress has essentially negative effects and the human will operate efficiently with an absence of stress
Behaviour is generally the outcome of personality and attitude. human conflict tends to escalate. the initial effects of carbon monoxide poisoning are not immediately alarming.

Question 147-28 : Which of the following statements best fits the definition of an active error active error is ?

Produced by the operator and can be rapidly detected.

exemple 355: Produced by the operator and can be rapidly detected
Produced either by a front-line operator or by a remote operator and results in a hidden or latent consequence at a specific moment of the action. essentially results from the application of a bad rule or the poor application of a good rule by aeroplane designers. rare in front-line actions and difficult to detect owing to the fact that it usually occurs in a complex system of uncontrolled and involuntary deviations.

Question 147-29 : Which of the following statements fits best the concept of latent error ?

Latent errors may have been present in the system for a certain length of time and are difficult to identify as a result of the time lag between the generation and the occurrence of the error.

exemple 359: Latent errors may have been present in the system for a certain length of time and are difficult to identify as a result of the time lag between the generation and the occurrence of the error
Latent errors are rarely made by front-line operators, and are consequently readily identified and detected by the monitoring, detection and warning links. latent errors are mainly associated with the behaviour of front-line operators and are only detected after advanced problem-solving. latent errors are detected rapidly.

Question 147-37 : What is the main adverse effect of expectation with regards to perception ?

Expectation often guides the focus of attention towards a particular aspect while possible alternates are neglected.

exemple 391: Expectation often guides the focus of attention towards a particular aspect while possible alternates are neglected
Expectations always lead to routine errors. expectation is a tool that allows capture of all relevant information. the attention area is enlarged by expectation, however it will therefore lead to uncertainties when a pilot is looking for a decision.

Question 147-38 : What are the most frequent results of an self centred captain on the flight deck ?

In a two pilot flight deck the co pilot is ignored and may react by disengaging showing delayed responses or aggression.

exemple 395: In a two pilot flight deck the co pilot is ignored and may react by disengaging showing delayed responses or aggression
High group performance despite the strained relations. a major risk of authority inversion if the co-pilot is unassertive. performance is very poor as self-centred behaviour leads to an increase of cooperation and efficiency.
