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: 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 …

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

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

Observers' perceptual sensitivity to critical target events can deteriorate when they must
remain alert for prolonged periods. The dominant characterization of this sensitivity …

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

Behavior in a vigilance task can be viewed within the framework of several task-relevant
stages. These include (1) storage of background information,(2) selection of stimulation and …

Signal probability is an important influence on vigilance. Typically, higher signal probability
is associated with higher hit rate, lower response criterion, and lower response: signal ratio …

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 …
