Sustained Attention in Major Unipolar Depression

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2007
Patients suffering from a major unipolar depression ( n = 17) and a normal control group ( n = 17) were compared on a noninterrupted vigilance task with a duration of 36 min. The performance decrement over time of the depressed group was indicative of a deficit in sustained attention.

Attenuation of spatial attentional asymmetries with poor sustained attention

NeuroReport, 2004
The 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 ...

Schizotypy and sustained attention.

Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1991
We examined sustained attention in 32 schizotypic and 43 normal control subjects from a large, randomly ascertained nonclinical university population. Schizotypy status was determined with the Perceptual Aberration Scale. Sustained attention was measured with the Continuous Performance Test-Identical Pairs.

Sustained attention and intelligence

Intelligence, 1990
Abstract The sustained attention of retarded and nonretarded adults was assessed during two 60-min vigilance tests that differed in memory demand. Subjects compared visually presented digit sets that were separated by 3 or 6 s; consecutive matching digit sets served as the target event.

Sustained Attention in Methadone Patients

International Journal of the Addictions, 1982
Sustained attention was examined in chronic, high-dose (70-120 mg) methadone patients with a modified Continuous Performance Test (Rosvold et al., 1956) 45 min in duration. Working and nonworking patient groups, and drug-free ex-addict and opiate-naive comparison groups were tested at high, moderate, and low signal rates.

The multiple dimensions of sustained attention

Cortex, 2008
Sustained 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 ...

Development of brain functional connectivity and its relation to infant sustained attention in the first year of life.

Developmental Science, 2018
The study of brain functional connectivity is crucial to understanding the neural mechanisms underlying the improved behavioral performance and amplified ERP responses observed during infant sustained attention. Previous investigations on the development

Sustained Attention and Related Perceptuomotor Functions

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1999
The present study examined the relationship between two measures of sustained attention on the Continuous Performance Test (reaction time and omission errors) and several performance measures on neuropsychological tests. Analysis suggests that sustained attention as measured by processing speed predicts performance on neuropsychological measures of ...

Sustained attention in children with autism

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1990
Although 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.
