<strong>MAP</strong>-<strong>01</strong>-<strong>01</strong>1 – <strong>HFI</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> (STGP 11)• Capacity to perceive, assimilate and assess information• Overall SAParticipant SA is then calculated by summing the sub-scale scores. The higherthe total score, the higher the SA of the participant.• Advantages• The technique is very quick and easy to use, requiring almost no training.• Although developed for use in aviation, the C-SAS sub-scales are genericand could potentially be used in any domain.• C-SAS shows promise as a back-up measure of SA. It seems that thetechnique would be suited for use alongside a direct measure of SA, suchas SAGAT. This would allow a comparison of the SA measured and theSA related behaviours exhibited.• Disadvantages• When used as an observer-rating tool, the extent to which it measures SAis questionable. As C-SAS can only offer an experts view on observable,SA related behaviours, it should be remembered that the technique doesnot offer a direct assessment of SA.• The extent to which an observer can rate the internal construct of SA isquestionable.• To use the technique appropriately, domain experts are required.• There are no data regarding the reliability and validity of the techniqueavailable in the literature.• The technique has been subjected to only limited use.• According to Endsley (DTC054 & DTC056 - 1995) the rating of SA byobservers is limited.• When used as a self-rating tool, the extent to which the sub-scales providean assessment of SA is questionable.• Participants are rating SA ‘after the fact’.• A host of problems are associated with collecting SA data post-trial, suchas forgetting, and a correlation between SA ratings and performance.A3.7.7Situation Awareness SWORD (SA-SWORD)The SA-SWORD is an adaptation of the SWORD workload assessmenttechnique that has been used to assess pilot situation awareness. TheSubjective Workload Dominance Technique (SWORD) is a subjective workloadassessment technique that has been used both retrospectively and predicatively.May 2006 Page A3-62 Issue 4
