Vigilance is assumed to decline with sustained task performance. The EEG-effects during
performance on mental tasks, however, cannot be ascribed indisputably to vigilance decline …

Both physical and mental effort are thought to affect vigilance. Mental effort is known for its
vigilance declining effects, but the effects of physical effort are less clear. This study …

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 resource view on vigilance performance was tested. First, a low demanding task was
compared with a similar low demanding task in which stimulus presentation was less …

Previous research has shown opposite effects of dual tasking on the vigilance decrement
phenomenon. We examined the executive (ie, detecting infrequent critical signals) and …

This paper reports two studies of EEG correlates of sustained attention. In the first, signal
ratios are varied in a situation in which overall event rate is constant. The EEG is shown to …

Vigilance refers to the ability to maintain attention and to remain alert to stimuli in prolonged
and monotonous tasks. Vigilance decrement describes the decline in performance in the …

A decrease in vigilance over time is often observed when performing prolonged tasks, a
phenomenon known as “vigilance decrement.” The present study aimed at testing some of …

The EEG of 20 subjects was monitored continuously while they performed a sustained
attention task in which each subject performed five conditions in different order. All …

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 …
