Research on Spatial Cognition Training Based on the Digital Earth

Abstract:

Spatial Cognition ability reflects the level of real-time spatial orientation and situation awareness of pilots during flight, which is one of important factors that determines the level of flight ability. This paper explains the Spatial Cognition principle and training methods, and researches training methods of Spatial Cognition based on the 3D virtual geographic environment of Digital Earth, striving to break through bottleneck of the traditional Spatial Cognition training methods.
