Macrocognition for Preparedness in Aviation

The chapter 'Macrocognition for Preparedness in Aviation' delves into the critical role of macrocognition in enhancing foresight and preparedness within the aviation industry. It argues that the shift towards digitalization and advanced technologies necessitates a deeper understanding of organizational factors and human-data interactions. The text highlights the importance of macrocognition in complex, information-driven environments, emphasizing the need for a systemic approach that considers the collective memory and information processing of aviation systems. By proposing a concept mapping of systemic macrocognition, the chapter offers a novel perspective on how to navigate the challenges posed by technological advancements and ensure the effective deployment of new technologies. It also underscores the need for further research into the cognitive structures and functions within these systems to better prepare for future changes and maintain safety.
