“…It is important to note that task engagement and CBFV predicted final-period cognitive vigilance performance, suggesting these measures may be promising for predicting which individuals are capable of maintaining vigilance, over and above initial level of performance. Additionally, these results support the findings of a previous study involving a sensory vigilance task utilizing the same measures: the short battery tasks, DSSQ, and CBFV (Reinerman et al, 2006). That study demonstrated a multiple R of .358, accounting for 9.7 percent of the variance on a sensory vigilance task.…”

“…Individual differences in the CBFV response to the short task battery were found to be reliable and meaningfully inter-related across tasks and hemispheres. Moreover, the vigilance task produced declines in performance and CBFV comparable to those seen in previous studies (e.g., Reinerman et al, 2006). Although the task was cognitive, requiring use of verbal working memory, temporal decline in CBFV was greater in the right than in the left hemisphere.…”

“…Thus, as in our previous sensory vigilance study (Reinerman et al, 2006), prediction of cognitive vigilance performance may be improved by assessment of individual differences in resource availability. The strategy adopted in this study was to expose observers to a short, potentially stressful battery of high information-processing demand tasks.…”

“…Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) is a noninvasive procedure that allows continuous monitoring of CBFV in the medial cerebral arteries during task performance. Studies conducted in our laboratory have shown that sensory vigilance tasks provoke an increase in CBFV that is closely tied to the information-processing demand of the tasks involved (Reinerman et al, 2006;Warm & Parasuraman, 2007). Such findings suggest that CBFV may serve as an index of the utilization of attentional resources during vigilance.…”

Responses to a brief six-min screening battery involving high-workload tracking, verbal working memory, and line discrimination tasks were used to predict subsequent performance on a 36-min cognitive vigilance task. Two predictors of interest were subjective state, as indexed by the Dundee Stress State Questionnaire (DSSQ), and cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), measured via transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. The results testify to the importance of assessing task-induced responses for predicting cognitive vigilance performance. They also indicate that forecasting vigilance performance is a complex endeavor requiring a set of multidimensional predictors. Specifically, higher post-battery task engagement scores on the DSSQ in this study and higher levels of CBFV during performance of the screening battery predicted more correct detections on the subsequent vigilance task. These findings are interpreted in the light of the resource-workload model of vigilance, and their practical significance is discussed.

“…Performance of the short battery was followed by a longer (36-min) vigilance task. One of the studies utilized a sensory vigilance task requiring observers' detection of collision paths of two airplanes on an Air Traffic Control (ATC) display (Reinerman et al, 2006). The second study employed a cognitive vigilance task in which working memory was required to mentally transform letter-math sequences to detect targets (Reinerman et al, 2007).…”

Recent studies from our laboratory have shown that the vigilance decrement, the decline in signal detection over time that typifies vigilance performance, is accompanied by a decline in Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity (CBFV) measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography and by an increase in stress measured by the Dundee Stress State Questionnaire (DSSQ). These studies were restricted to single vigilance tasks. In operational settings, such as driving, vigilance is often combined with other task components. Therefore, the aim for the present study was to generalize the findings from the earlier studies to a simulated driving task. As in the earlier studies, temporal declines in performance efficiency, indexed in this case by variability in lateral position, were accompanied by declines in CBFV and increased feelings of distress and task disengagment on the DSSQ. The results suggest that resource utilization patterns found with single vigilance tasks may extend to dynamic performance situations in which vigilance is one of several task elements.
