Puntos clave

To explore how sensory processing sensitivity affects pilot decision time and performance under stress.
Flight simulation experiments to assess decision times
fNIRS used to measure DLPFC engagement
Analysis of the impact of indecisiveness on decision-making
Sensory processing sensitivity predicts longer decision times in pilots
Indecisiveness is linked to poor flight performance under stress
DLPFC engagement amplifies delays in decision-making

Resumen

SPS and indecisiveness jointly contribute to delayed decision-making and poor flight performance under stress, with DLPFC engagement amplifying the delay in decision-making. The findings integrate trait, behavioural, and neural factors into a unified model of aviation decision performance.
