A dynamic model of stress and sustained attention

P A Hancock et al. Hum Factors. 1989 Oct.

Abstract

This paper examines the effects of stress on sustained attention. With recognition of the task itself as the major source of cognitive stress, a dynamic model is presented that addresses the effects of stress on vigilance and, potentially, a wide variety of attention-demanding performance tasks.
