THE EFFECTS OF PRE-TASK ADAPTATION AND AVERSIVE STIMULATION UPON VIGILANCE BEHAVIOR,

Abstract

The complex problem of vigilance behavior has provided a sizable literature. Several theoretical models have been advanced to account for experimental findings. A hypothesis based upon aversive stimulation was presented, and data were collected to test the hypothesis. Specifically, the present study was designed to test the effects of pre-task adaptation and aversive stimulation upon the performance of a visual vigilance task. (Author)
