Situation Awareness, or Situational Awareness
Originally an aviation term used in human factors to describe awareness of tactical situations during aerial warfare. It has now been adopted throughout aviation, and increasingly in transportation and other dynamic complex systems requiring human control.
Situation awareness or SA is thought to be a key measure of mental ability and appears to correlate with general intelligence, expertise, and performance. However, as with the idea of consciousness a simple definition is still proving illusive.
