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 …

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 …

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

The dominant theory amongst vigilance researchers is resource theory. From this theoretical
perspective the increase in lapses with time on task, the vigilance decrement, is due to the …

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 …

Two models of recently reported high workload associated with vigilance tasks are the direct-
cost and indirect-cost views. The former attributes high workload to the need for continuous …

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

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 …

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 …
