Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Gaiting straps are put on a horse to keep his rear end in line. I’ve put them on trotters on both sides. Sometimes they’ll throw their feet out pretty wide into a wheel or the sulky, particularly on a half-mile track where they’re going at a terrific clip around the turns. A lot of good horses that I’ve raced had to wear gaiting straps over a half-mile track. A gaiting strap catches them up along the stifle and keeps them from throwing their foot out. 3, record 2, English, - gaiting%20strap

The need for valid tests of complex operational aptitude is increasing as the explosion in information technology and associated automation makes more complex operations possible and the cost of placing the wrong person in charge greater than ever. Increasing the information available gives the operator more to attend to, and automation makes it all the more important and difficult to keep track of everything that is going on and decide when some intervention is critical. This is now called situational awareness, and in the case of crew operations, we call it team resource management. 1, record 4, English, - Team%20Resource%20Management

La nécessité d'avoir des mesures valides d'aptitudes à gérer les opérations ultra-complexes a cru avec l'explosion des technologies de l'information. Ces technologies favorisent l'automatisation des tâches et accentuent le risque de placer la mauvaise personne aux commandes. Jamais dans l'histoire de l'humanité le coût d'une erreur humaine n'aura été aussi important qu'aujourd'hui. La quantité d'information augmentant, l'opérateur doit partager davantage son attention. L'automatisation complique le suivi et la discrimination des événements selon les niveaux d'importance. Cette capacité à partager son attention, à hiérarchiser les événements et à orienter ses réactions s'appelle la connaissance de la situation, et, dans le cas d'équipes de travail, on y ajoute la gestion des ressources d'équipe. 1, record 4, French, - gestion%20des%20ressources%20d%27%C3%A9quipe
