[Psychophysiological characteristics of the performance of a suited operator].
The performance of a suited operator was studied. The experiments were carried out in a trainer consisting of a cockpit and electronic model of the plane attitude realized by an Electron analogue computer. The experiments showed that a special suit may decrease the performance. The main cause for that is that under positive pressure the influx of afferent signals impoverishes due to a reduction of proprioceptive feedback. This disturbs the interaction of the optic and motor analyzers. In order to increase the performance of a suited pilot, it is necessary to build the construction maintaining the optic-proprioceptive relation.
