The Cambridge Cockpit: Wartime research on pilot fatigue in a comparative context
Hs. 3E im Neuen Institutsgebäude (NIG)
Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien
Vortrag
During WWII members of the Psychological Laboratory in Cambridge carried out a series of intriguing experiments on pilot fatigue. I shall describe these experiments and the theoretical analysis given to their results. I shall also ask whether comparable experiments were conducted by German psychologists. This attempt at comparison can be carried out successfully but it encounters a number of interesting problems and raises some significant methodological questions for the sociologist and historian of science. I shall offer some tentative answers to these questions.
David Bloor is Emeritus Professor at the University of Edinburgh Science Studies Unit, Scotland.
