Attention to Visual Displays During a Vigilance Task
Analysis of data from an earlier paper by the writer (Baker, 1958) shows that perceptual performance does not necessarily deteriorate daring a typical vigilance task. It was hypothesized that a major determinant of such deterioration is the regularity of signal appearance. An experiment is described here which supports this hypothesis. It is further demonstrated that motor activity markedly increases during a vigilance task, the least active subj…
Attention to Visual Displays During a Vigilance Task
Five experiments are described in which subjects were asked to search visual displays and report the appearance, at any location on the display, of a spot of light which persisted for one second. On displays with and without a rotating radial line it was found that subjects detect fewer such spots of light near the periphery of the display. By modifying a radar‐like display in order to facilitate a changed pattern of visual search, it was demonst…
