Decrements over time in sustained attention (vigilance decrement) have been attributed to
filtering, reduced tonic arousal, neural habituation, and related factors. A recent taxonomic …

My themes are that vigilance research has been research on sustained attention, that
sustained attention is probably fundamentally different from selective attention with respect …

Vigilance: The Problem of Sustained Attention deals with vigilance and how the ability to
sustain attention is influenced by certain definite conditions of the external and internal …

The ability to remain vigilant over long periods of time is critical for many everyday tasks, but
controlled studies of visual sustained attention show that performance declines over time …

It is well known that when human observers must monitor for rare but critical events,
probability of detection tends to wane over time, a phenomenon known as the “vigilance …

Vigilance or sustained attention/vigilant attention refers to the ability of observers to maintain
their focus of attention and remain alert to stimuli over prolonged periods. A variety of …

The vigilance decrement has been described as a slowing in reaction times or an increase
in error rates as an effect of time-on-task during tedious monitoring tasks. This decrement …

The vigilance decrement is a decline in signal detection rate that occurs over time on a
sustained-attention task. The effect has typically been ascribed to conservative shifts of …

Results of empirical studies using computerized tests of sustained attention are summarized.
Factors that affect vigilance performance fall into three broad categories: task parameters …

Robertson, Manly, Andrade, Baddeley, and Yiend (1997) proposed that the decline in
performance efficiency over time in vigilance tasks (the vigilance decrement) is …
