Abstract

This paper examines the science of applied behavior analysis and its potential integration into current research and practice of threat and error management for internal crew behaviors. Discussions provide insight into how an Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence (ABC) analysis of behavior can reveal to educators, the antecedents and consequences for at-risk crew behavior. This paper will redefine crew at-risk behaviors as anti-error behaviors that prevent internal error occurrence. This new perspective will complement and enhance the total threat-error process model. Finally the challenges and implications of using crew reinforcement to maintain anti-error behavior using modified line-oriented flight training (LOFT) will be discussed.
