Everything you need to know about the touchy-feely side of flying is summarised in the title of Tony Kern's book "Flight Discipline".
The rest, as stated above, is a load of tosh.
Yeah I have a degree in "Aviation Science" and I even got Distinctions in Av Psych
I seem to recall that a lot of this academic twaddle was really either
1/. the boffins making up new words because they lacked the vocabulary to express themselves in plain english; or
2/. making up more crap because expressing it all in plain english makes it sound like plain ol' common sense
