The Relation of Frames to
Aviation Illusions that cause Aircraft Accidents
Our capacity as human beings does not suffice to handle all
the complex information that may exist around us. We have developed a mechanism, ‘Framing or
Frames’ to handle complexity when we are overloaded. Frames may be physical or mental as some of
our visual abilities or tendecy to choose the easiest option mentally.
The framing mechanism is the soft side of human beings which
can be manipulated easily fro commercial purposes or even for politics. Framing is frequently used to create
illusions. Whether it be a visual
illusion, or a social politics strategy, or even an aviation dangerous situation they
are all related with the framing mechanism of the human mind.
For large systems operators and pilots there is a number of
researches about how or what kind of personality can avoid the bad effects of
framing. To explain these I have to go
through a number os steps:
1- 1-Frames vs schemas
2- 2-Illusions
3-
3-Aviation illusions
All the best.
