The former consisted of manual compensation for roll disturbances of the aircraft, while the latter consisted of keeping a moving visual target inside a small or large head-referenced circle. A \u201cno head aiming\u201d condition served as a baseline. Furthermore, all conditions were performed with or without visual clutter.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Head aiming led to deterioration of the attitude control task performance and an increase of the amount of roll-reversal errors (RREs). This was even the case when head aiming required minimal effort. Head aiming accuracy was significantly lower when the roll disturbances in the attitude control task were large compared to when they were small. Visual clutter had no effect on both tasks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We suggest that active head aiming of HMD symbology can cause attentional tunneling, as expressed by an increased number of RREs and less accuracy on a simultaneously performed attitude control task.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Application<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study improves our understanding in the perceptual and cognitive effects of (military) HMDs, and has implications for operational use and possibly (re)design of HMDs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00187208241236395","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,6]],"date-time":"2024-03-06T07:11:16Z","timestamp":1709709076000},"page":"63-78","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Attentional Tunneling in Pilots During a Visual Tracking Task With a Head Mounted Display"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"67","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2522-7925","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erik","family":"Van der Burg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"TNO Human Factors, Soesterberg, The Netherlands"},{"name":"University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wietse D.","family":"Ledegang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TNO Human Factors, Soesterberg, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frank L.","family":"Kooi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TNO Human Factors, Soesterberg, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark M.
