DOI: 10.1016/j.concog.2021.103263
Abstract: Previous research has shown opposite effects of dual tasking on the vigilance decrement phenomenon. We examined the executive (i.e., detecting infrequent critical signals) and arousal (i.e., sustaining a fast reaction to stimuli without much control… read more here.

Further Evidence That Sleep Deprivation Effects and the Vigilance Decrement Are Functionally Equivalent: Comment on Altmann (2018)

DOI: 10.1111/cogs.12588
Abstract: Veksler and Gunzelmann (2018) argue that the vigilance decrement and the deleterious effects of sleep loss reflect functionally equivalent degradations in cognitive processing and performance. Our account is implemented in a cognitive architecture, where these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/00187208231168697
Abstract: OBJECTIVE We investigated secondary-task-based countermeasures to the vigilance decrement during a simulated partially automated driving (PAD) task, with the goal of understanding the underlying mechanism of the vigilance decrement and maintaining driver vigilance in PAD.… read more here.

Vigilance decrement and mind-wandering in sustained attention tasks: Two sides of the same coin?

DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1122406
Abstract: Background Decrements in performance and the propensity for increased mind-wandering (i.e., task-unrelated thoughts) across time-on-task are two pervasive phenomena observed when people perform vigilance tasks. In the present study, we asked whether processes that lead… read more here.
