Cognitive Breakdown in Aviation: The Human Mind Under Automation explores how human cognition, attention, and decision-making change in highly automated environments. This book examines cognitive breakdown, human factors, pilot error, and performance under automation, showing how small shifts in engagement, cognitive load, and processing can lead to delayed or incorrect actions.
Focused on aviation psychology, human performance, and cockpit decision-making, it provides insight into automation in aviation, cognitive behavior, and safety. Ideal for pilots, air traffic controllers, engineers, and psychologists, this book highlights the importance of maintaining human readiness alongside advanced automated systems
