Models of sustained attention

Current Opinion in Psychology, 2019
Attention is not constant, but fluctuates from moment-to-moment. Multiple neurocognitive factors contribute to these fluctuations, acting to help us get 'in the zone' as well as pulling us away from this optimal and fleeting state. Models of arousal, mind wandering, cognitive resource allocation, and effort have consequences for this fundamental ...

Sustained Attention and Pervasive Hyperactivity

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 1991
Abstract A sustained attention deficit is defined as a significant decrement in task performance with task duration (time‐on‐task). Time‐on‐task effects are reported using a self‐paced paper and pencil cancellation test (PPCT) in normals and in subgroups of pervasively hyperactive children.

Sustained Attention and Grade Retention

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1994
Two 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 ...

Demand Transitions and Sustained Attention

The Journal of General Psychology, 1993
A 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.

Frontal lesions and sustained attention

Neuropsychologia, 1987
Neurological 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, 1973
Sixteen 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.

Sustained visual attention improves visuomotor timing

Psychological Research, 2022
Relative to audition, vision is considered much less trustworthy in sensorimotor timing such as synchronizing finger movements with a temporally regular sequence. Visuomotor timing requires maintaining attention over time, whereas the sustained visual attention may not be well held in conventional visuomotor timing task settings where flashing visual ...
