“…Moreover, Fraulini et al (2017) pointed out that in Thomson et al (2016) the vigilance task was performed online and outside the lab, without controlling the experimental context. Notwithstanding, Thomson et al outcomes were replicated later in a study conducted under the typical lab conditions (Claypoole et al, 2018). Indeed, we have recently analyzed the reliability of the vigilance and attentional components of the ANTI-Vea in a study with a large sample (N = 617), wherein participants either performed the standard ANTI-Vea in the lab or the online version (https://www.ugr.es/~neurocog/ANTI/) outside the lab in a suitable place of their choosing (Luna, Roca, Martín-Arévalo, & Lupiáñez, 2020).…”

“…Importantly, FA computed from the lure trials showed a prominent decrement across time on task, and consequently, the vigilance decrement was observed as an increment in the response bias and not as a loss in sensitivity (Thomson et al, 2016). Note that the results observed by Thomson et al were later replicated using the same vigilance task in a recent study conducted by Claypoole, Neigel, Fraulini, Hancock, & Szalma (2018).…”

However, as demonstrated by recent research, the loss in sensitivity might be an artifact of simple vigilance tasks wherein it is usually observed a floor rate on FA (Claypoole et al, 2018;Thomson et al, 2016).…”

The vigilance decrement phenomenon has been traditionally studied by simple and monotonous behavioral tasks. Nowadays, however, there is considerable interest in measuring vigilance with more complex tasks, including independent measures of other attentional functions. In the present study, we provide evidence supporting the suitability of the Attentional Networks Test for Interactions and Vigilance – executive and arousal components (ANTI-Vea) as an appropriate method to simultaneously assess multiple attentional and vigilance components. Vigilance was examined as two dissociated components: executive vigilance –as the detection of infrequent signals– and arousal vigilance–as the sustenance of a fast reaction to stimuli without response selection–. Importantly, the executive vigilance decrement was analyzed with a novel methodological approach to particularly determine whether the sensitivity loss effect is influenced by a floor level on the false alarms. As expected, the ANTI-Vea proved to be a task suitable to assess: (a) the main effects and interactions of phasic alertness, orienting, and executive control; (b) the executive vigilance decrement as a progressive change in the response bias; and (c) the arousal vigilance decrement as a progressive slowness and variability in reaction time. We discuss some critical theoretical and empirical implications of measuring vigilance components with the ANTI-Vea task. We expect the present study to provide a suitable method to analyze the vigilance decrement phenomenon when measuring multiple attentional and vigilance functions.

“…In this paper, we hypothesize that performing semantic vigilance task weakens connectivity network of full spectrum at range (0.5-30) Hz as time passes. Semantic vigilance tasks require participants to attend to and process characters, symbols, text-speak words, words, or non-words over extended periods of time [46,47]. The semantic vigilance tasks require operators to respond to targets that are semantic or lexical in nature and withhold response to neutral stimuli, which are not semantically representative or related to target signals.…”

Brain Connectivity Analysis Under Semantic Vigilance and Enhanced Mental States

et al. 2019

In this paper, we present a method to quantify the coupling between brain regions under vigilance and enhanced mental states by utilizing partial directed coherence (PDC) and graph theory analysis (GTA). The vigilance state is induced using a modified version of stroop color-word task (SCWT) while the enhancement state is based on audio stimulation with a pure tone of 250 Hz. The audio stimulation was presented to the right and left ears simultaneously for one-hour while participants perform the SCWT. The quantification of mental states was performed by means of statistical analysis of indexes based on GTA, behavioral responses of time-on-task (TOT), and Brunel Mood Scale (BRMUS). The results show that PDC is very sensitive to vigilance decrement and shows that the brain connectivity network is significantly reduced with increasing TOT, p < 0.05. Meanwhile, during the enhanced state, the connectivity network maintains high connectivity as time passes and shows significant improvements compared to vigilance state. The audio stimulation enhances the connectivity network over the frontal and parietal regions and the right hemisphere. The increase in the connectivity network correlates with individual differences in the magnitude of the vigilance enhancement assessed by response time to stimuli. Our results provide evidence for enhancement of cognitive processing efficiency with audio stimulation. The BRMUS was used to evaluate the emotional states of vigilance task before and after using the audio stimulation. BRMUS factors, such as fatigue, depression, and anger, significantly decrease in the enhancement group compared to vigilance group. On the other hand, happy and calmness factors increased with audio stimulation, p < 0.05.

“…Neutral stimuli are not semantically related to lures or targets and include nonanimal objects such as "cube," "binder," or "socket." The inclusion of lures increases the difficulty associated with the semantic vigilance task (Claypoole et al, 2018;, whereas standard semantic vigilance tasks are easier in that they require only binary distinctions from participants (Fraulini et al, 2017). In the present study, the standard semantic vigilance tasks consisted of 10 targets and 90 neutral stimuli (referred to as "distracters" in Thomson et al, 2016), or 100 events per period.…”

Task Engagement and the Vigilance Decrement Revisited: Expanding Upon the Work of Joel S. Warm Using a Semantic Vigilance Paradigm

Objective: The goal of the present study is twofold: (1) demonstrate the importance of measuring and understanding the relationship between task engagement and vigilance performance, and (2) celebrate the work of Joel S. Warm and expand upon his previous research in two semantic vigilance paradigms. Background: The importance of measuring task engagement in cognitive and sensory vigilance tasks has been well documented. But to date, our understanding of the effects of task engagement on semantic vigilance performance is limited. Method: Seventy-three participants completed either a standard semantic vigilance task or a lure semantic vigilance task. Participants also completed subjective measures of workload and stress. Results: The results indicated that changes in task engagement are associated with correct detection performance. Changes in task engagement may be related to individual differences in the distress associated with performing semantic vigilance tasks. Conclusion: In line with the work of Warm and his colleagues (Dember, Warm, Bowers, & Lanzetta, 1984), participants who reported increased task engagement after the vigil outperformed their peers who noted decreased task engagement upon conclusion of the task. Participants reporting increases in engagement with the semantic vigilance tasks also reported significantly greater distress pretask, but not posttask. Instead, increases in postvigil distress were driven by the task to which participants were assigned, not task engagement. Application: The present study has several implications for applied settings that involve long duration semantic processing or semantic target identification. Such real-world tasks include aviation, cyber threat detection and analysis, driving, and reading.
