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

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 …

Objective: We describe major discoveries and developments in vigilance research.
Background: Vigilance tasks have typically been viewed as undemanding assignments …

Robertson, Manly, Andrade, Baddeley, and Yiend (1997) have proposed that detection
failures in vigilance tasks result from a 'mindless' withdrawal of attentional effort from the …

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 …

The present study was designed to explore whether sustained attention tasks can be
adequately described by a mindlessness perspective or a limited resource perspective. One …

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 …

Loss of vigilance may lead to impaired performance in various applied settings including
military operations, transportation, and industrial inspection. Individuals differ considerably …

Vigilance or sustained attention refers to the ability of observers to maintain their focus of
attention and remain alert to stimuli over prolonged periods of time (Warm, 1977, 1984 …

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