Information acquisition and processing in the mandatory syllabus for Crew Resource Management training. And with this lesson plan we make it a “piece of cake” for you to deliver a well-balanced, interactive session on the topic.
This lesson plan is designed to get participants to reflect on how humans filter and process information as well as create awareness of the limitations of the human brain and ways to overcome these. The lesson is highly interactive and includes a few activities
The structure takes you through the senses, filters and memory systems. It also highlights associated pitfalls: why the brain misinterprets, forgets and makes mistakes as well as underlining what we can do to minimise these risks. In brief: how can the senses and the brain play tricks on use and what we can do to deal with these mechanisms.
All of this is supported with a few activities and examples to help you make a bridge between the theory and practice and paint a clear picture for your students.
Although the main topic is “information acquisition and processing” the lesson plan equally links perfectly to the topics delegation, workload management and even teamwork. So, it is a great tool to help you cover several topics. Just follow the guided lesson plan which includes questions to ask your trainees, what to extract and conclude from these. And your trainees will experience a structured and interactive session.
