Rongjuan Zhu; Xiaoliang Ma; Ziyu Wang; Qi Hui; Xuqun You – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2025
Auditory alarm deafness is a failure to notice a salient auditory signal in a high-load context, which is one of the major causes of flight accidents. Therefore, it is of great practical significance for aviation safety to explore ways to avoid auditory alarm deafness under a high-load scenario. One potential reason for its occurrence could be the…
