The Restorative Environment: A Complementary Concept for Salutogenesis Studies (2017, background): “It is also limited in its temporal scope, so that sustained efforts to direct attention can deplete the resource, which brings with it gradually impaired performance and, eventually, fatigue of the self-regulatory capability (e.g., Cohen, 1980; Kaplan & Berman, 2010; Langner & Eickhoff, 2013).”
Ten simple rules for neuroimaging meta-analysis (2017, background): “However, on the other hand, there is also the legitimate decision to include also unpublished data (e.g., Langner and Eickhoff, 2013) in order to increase the number of experiments and to get more appropriate contrasts.”
Temporal filling-in reduces attentional fluctuations in sustained visual attention (2026, unknown): “When sustaining attention to task-relevant goals over a period of time, attentional states fluctuate continuously from moment to moment (Sarter et al., 2001; Langner and Eickhoff, 2013; Fortenbaugh et al., 2017; Esterman and Rothlein, 2019).”
Frontal effective connectivity increases with task demands and time on task: a Dynamic Causal Model of electrocorticogram in macaque monkeys (2022, background): “Activity within this network increases when the successful execution of an ongoing task requires sustained attention [18], maintenance of information in working memory [14, 19, 20, 21, 22] or overriding a prepotent response [22], while reduced activation is found during the performance of more habit”
