He is also a member of the adjunct faculty of the Wright State University Department of Psychology, where he has taught since 1989. Previously, he was a research psychologist at NASA Ames Research Center. He received a B.A. (Psychology) from State University College of New York at Potsdam, a M.A. (Psychology) from The Ohio State University, and a Ph.D. (Engineering Psychology) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research specializes in cognitive metrics for human-machine interface, evaluation, and adaptation. He co-edited the volume, Principles and Practice of Aviation Psychology with Pamela Tsang. Pamela S. Tsang is professor of psychology at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. Previously, she was a National Research Council post doctoral fellow at NASA-Ames Research Center. She received her A. B. (Psychology) from Mount Holyoke College and her Ph.D. (Engineering Psychology) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research interests are attention and performance, extralaboratory-developed expertise, cognitive aging, and aviation psychology. She is interested in applications of her research in a wide variety of domains that include aviation, surface transportation, and medicine. She co-edited the volume, Principles and Practice of Aviation Psychology with Michael Vidulich. John M. Flach received his Ph.D. (Human Experimental Psychology) from The Ohio State University in 1984. John was an assistant professor at the University of Illinois from 1984 to 1990 where he held joint appointments in the Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, the Psychology Department, and the Institute of Aviation. In 1990 he joined the Psychology Department at Wright State University. He served as

"This collection of selected symposium papers provides a representative cross-section of the field of aviation psychology and gives readers a good sense of current issues, research progress, and continuing challenges. The keynote addresses provide insightful overviews of several critical topics, and the individual papers illustrate the various research approaches being taken, the power and limitations of those approaches, and the current state of knowledge for a wide range of topics."- Key Dismukes"The editors have created an exceptional selection of chapters ranging from state-of-the-art syntheses to data-driven empirical studies. The raw materials were provided by the 2013 Ohio Symposium on Aviation Psychology. Many conference proceedings lack coherence and consistency but this collection exceeds expectations. Beginning with a fascinating historical overview by the editors the papers cover a number of topical issues including NextGen, ecological interface design and selection and training. Leveson's chapter on system safety is a particular standout. Many of the authors are key figures in their areas and their chapters provide essential reading for anyone with an interest in aviation psychology and human factors. There is a notable geographical diversity of contributions with half-a-dozen chapters authored by European experts. This is far more than an ad hoc collection of conference presentations but is a well-thought out and carefully crafted guide to the latest developments in aviation psychology."- David O'Hare, University of Otago, New Zealand
