Environmental pollution, toxic water pollutants, and industrialization on a global scale have drawn attention for sustained fundamental and applied research in the area of environmental remediation.
Motivation, reward, and pleasure are also likely to be involved, because they all foster play and may support sustained attention on one task.
All participants performed the sustained attention to response task (SART) during pre- and post-training testing sessions to assess training effects on sustained attention.
This might be expected to improve sustained attention performance, although the results indicated lengthened reaction time as well as fewer false alarms as the vigilance task continued, suggesting negative and positive effects on sustained attention performance.
Under experimental conditions in Study 2, chewing gum had varying effects on sustained attention performance, with lengthened reaction time in the fourth minute but fewer false alarms during the final minute.
Our data showed that the G1287A polymorphism may affect the outcome of MPH treatment on sustained attention deficits in ADHD, with the G/G genotype being associated with the greatest MPH-induced decrease in omission errors.
Since the different types of formal training the dogs engaged in may have contributed differentially to their gaze-following performance (e.g. by training them on sustained attention to humans or on anticipating a set of signals), future studies should aim to disentangle these effects by examining each training type individually (Scandurra, Prato-Previde, Valsecchi, Aria, & D'Aniello, 2015).
The complaint, citing Lopez's account, said that she called 911 but declined to seek medical attention after sustaining a lump on her head and scratches on her back, arms and chest.
However, unlike in MEG studies on sustained visual attention [e.g.,18], no peak in the gamma band was observed in the power spectra: the gamma activity only became detectable when studied in relation to the alpha phase.
School age children, teenagers, and college students are flooded with a "constant flow of information from Twitter, Facebook, Vine, Instagram, text messages and the like" that prevents them from "sustaining attention on any one thing for very long".
