Sustained attention and the experience of flow
Psychological Research, 2020The state of flow-often referred to as being "in the zone"-is characterized by the experience of deep, effortless concentration on the activity one is engaged in. While much of the flow literature seems to imply a tight link between flow and attention processes, relatively little work has assessed this question empirically.

Effects of goal-setting on sustained attention and attention lapses
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2023In three experiments, we examined the effects of goal-setting on sustained attention and attention lapses. We measured both behavioral task performance and subjective attentional states during a four -choice reaction time task (Experiments 1 and 2 administered online; Experiment 3 conducted in-person).

Sustained division of the attentional spotlight
Nature, 2003By voluntarily directing attention to a specific region of a visual scene, we can improve our perception of stimuli at that location. This ability to focus attention upon specific zones of the visual field has been described metaphorically as a moveable spotlight or zoom lens that facilitates the processing of stimuli within its 'beam'. A long-standing

Sustained Attention and Grade Retention
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1994Two studies are reported which explore the possible relationship between academic failure, as measured by grade retention, and the capacity to sustain attention on a computerized continuous performance task. In a nonreferred sample, 89 children who had been retained at some point in their academic careers showed a higher frequency of abnormal scores on

The multiple dimensions of sustained attention
Cortex, 2008Sustained counting (or temporal numerosity judgements) has been one of the key means of investigating anterior attentional processes. Forty-three patients with localised lesions to the frontal lobes were assessed on two tests of the ability to count the number (8-22) of stimuli presented at either a slow (roughly one per 3 sec) or fast (roughly three ...

Sustained attention in children with autism
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1990Although many children with early infantile autism cannot maintain attention to externally imposed tasks, they may continue a repetitive behavior of their own choosing for long periods of time. This study examined the performance of autistic and mental age matched normal children on a Continuous Performance Test of sustained attention.

Frontal lesions and sustained attention
Neuropsychologia, 1987Neurological patients were presented with a succession of 2-11 stimuli which they were required to count, reporting the number in the series when it finished. The stimuli were binaural clicks, or pulses on the right or on the left index finger. Regardless of stimulus modality or lateralization, patients with lesions involving the right frontal lobe ...

Sustained Attention in Remitted Schizophrenics
Archives of General Psychiatry, 1973Sixteen drug-free discharged remitted schizophrenics and twenty control subjects were tested on the Continuous Performance Test (CPT), a test of sustained attention. Following baseline testing, a distraction condition consisting of auditory and visual distractors was introduced.

Demand Transitions and Sustained Attention
The Journal of General Psychology, 1993A recent report by the National Research Council (Huey & Wickens, 1993) has identified transitions in task demand as an important dimension for study in vigilance research. This experiment tested the possibility that the effects of such transitions follow a relatively simple psychophysical rule--they are characterized by contrast effects.

Attenuation of spatial attentional asymmetries with poor sustained attention
NeuroReport, 2004The co-existence of deficits in sustained and spatial attention in patients with acquired damage to the right cerebral hemisphere has led to the proposition that sustained attention could be a marker for left spatial inattention, or neglect. We investigated the possibility that reductions in leftward spatial attentional asymmetries could arise from ...
