Study of the rate of acoustic reception of radiotelegraphic signals during the psychological selection of candidates for flight training

: Psychophysiological characteristics and results of training of cadets of pilot schools who had excellent and bad marks in the reception of radiotelegraph signals by ear were examined. The cadets who had excellent marks in that subject also had better marks in the velocity of the skill development, attention parameters and results of flying training. They also showed a higher value of the EEG alpha-rhythm. The procedure of measuring the capacity of candidates to develop a complex sensomotor skill in the reception of radiotelegraph signals by ear may be well used in the psychophysiological selection of pilot-cadets.
