Imaging Brain Fatigue from Sustained Mental Workload: An ASL Perfusion Study of the Time-On-Task Effect (2009, background): “…signals that are intrinsically alerting, and " top-down " attention, including processes such as biasing attention towards specific signal features, inhibiting unwanted distractions from the task, or modulating attention via motivation (Corbetta and Shulman, 2002; Sarter et al., 2001, 2006).”
Task-independent and task-specific age effects on brain activity during working memory, visual attention and episodic retrieval. (2004, background): “…adults, PFC activity tends to be left lateralized for verbal WM (for a review, see Smith and Jonides, 1999) and right lateralized for sustained VA (for reviews, see Coull, 1998; Sarter et al., 2001), we predicted agerelated contralateral recruitment in right PFC for WM but in left PFC for VA.”
Sustaining attention to simple tasks: a meta-analytic review of the neural mechanisms of vigilant attention. (2013, background): “Furthermore, besides adapting task-specific cognitive control parameters, such attentional adjustments should also entail the top-down regulation of midbrain and brain stem arousal systems (Aston-Jones & Cohen, 2005; Fischer et al., 2008; Mottaghy et al., 2006; Sarter et al., 2001).”
Neuroergonomics: Research and practice (2003, background): “…problems in human–automation interaction have also been well documented, both in the laboratory and the field (Wiener and Curry 1980, Bainbridge 1983, Rasmussen 1986, Sheridan 1992, Billings 1997, Parasuraman and Riley 1997, Sarter et al. 1997, Lewis 1998, Satchell 1998, Parasuraman et al. 2000).”
40-second green roof views sustain attention: The role of micro-breaks in attention restoration (2015, background): “Sustained attention is a fundamental component of attention involved in learning and memory (Cowan, 1995), which underlies general cognitive ability (Maclean et al., 2010; Sarter et al., 2001).”
The dual pathway to creativity model: Creative ideation as a function of flexibility and persistence (2010, neutral): “These structures are implied in working memory (Baddeley, 1996 ; Fuster, 2000 ), sustained and directed attention (Posner, 1994 ; Sarter, Givens, & Bruno, 2001 ), and are recruited in long-term memory retrieval (Cabeza & Nyberg, 2000 ).”
Unraveling the attentional functions of cortical cholinergic inputs: interactions between signal-driven and cognitive modulation of signal detection. (2005, neutral): “[163] M.”
The Impact of Intensive Mindfulness Training on Attentional Control, Cognitive Style, and Affect (2008, background): “Sustained attention. Also called vigilance, sustained attention refers to the capacity to detect unpredictably occurring stimuli over prolonged periods of time ( Sarter, Givens, & Bruno, 2001 ).”
Mental fatigue: costs and benefits. (2008, background): “Acetylcholine (Ach) projections to the PFC have been shown to be involved in attention and top–down control of behaviour (Sarter et al., 2001; Sarter and Parikh, 2005).”
