The Effects of Noise and Response Complexity upon Vigilance Performance,

Abstract

Visual vigilance (detection) performance of 140 Ss was investigated with respect to environmental stimulation (noise) and intraorganismic stimulation (simple vs. complex response). Correct detections and false alarms were analyzed. Results are evaluated in terms of the activation hypothesis. (Author)
