Experimental Neurology, 1970
Abstract Monkeys were trained to press a bar to obtain water in response to visual stimuli, and four testing situations were used. Optimal visuomotor responses, i.e., responses with short reaction times, responses to rapidly presented stimuli, responses to infrequently presented stimuli, and responses to threshold stimuli, require as a necessary ...

Cognitive Workload and Fatigue in a Vigilance Dual Task: Miss Errors, False Alarms, and the Effect of Wearing Biometric Sensors While Working.

Nonlinear Dynamics, Psychology, and Life Sciences, 2016
The effects of workload, fatigue, and practice on the performance of cognitive tasks are often intertwined. Previous research has shown that these influences can be separated with the two cusp catastrophe models.

Bringing the frame into focus: the influence of regulatory fit on processing fluency and persuasion.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2004
This research demonstrates that people's goals associated with regulatory focus moderate the effect of message framing on persuasion. The results of 6 experiments show that appeals presented in gain frames are more persuasive when the message is ...
