When attention wanders: how uncontrolled fluctuations in attention affect performance.
No matter how hard subjects concentrate on a task, their minds wander (Raichle et al., 2001; Buckner et al., 2008; Christoff et al., 2009; Killingsworth and Gilbert, 2010). Internal fluctuations cannot be measured behaviorally or from conventional neurophysiological measures, so their effects on performance have been difficult to study. Previously, we measured fluctuations in visual attention u...
متن کاملFluctuations in Alertness and Sustained Attention: Predicting Driver Performance
Fatigue has been implicated in an alarming number of motor vehicle accidents, costing billions of dollars and thousands of lives. Unfortunately, the ability to predict performance impairments in complex task domains like driving is limited by a gap in our understanding of the explanatory mechanisms. In this paper, we describe an attempt to generate a priori predictions of degradations in driver...

متن کاملAffect, Attention, and Automation
Human Performance (Wickens, 1984a) brought together the seemingly unrelated fields of cognitive psychology and engineering. This book and the two subsequent editions (Wickens, 1992; Wickens & Hollands, 2000) have had an enormous impact on engineering design and have garnered more than 780 citations in the scientific literature as of June 2005. One important contribution of this book was to rela...
متن کاملHow Does Feature-Based Attention Affect Visual Processing?
Five experiments are reported from which it is concluded that attending on the basis of a stimulus feature (e.g., red)does not directly affect the sensory quality of stimuli that possess that feature. Feature-based attention was manipulated in a visual search task by providing information about the probability that the target would possess a given feature (e.g., "The target has a 1.0 probabilit...
