AGING INFLUENCE ON SUSTAINED ATTENTION

这项工作试图确定持续的注意力和年龄的性质 差异和变化，特别是它。持续的注意力通常是 在实验室环境中检查， 注意力是可以控制的。今年的主题是收集 延长刺激检查时间和增加目标的影响 在高事件率下，对调节年龄差异的区分度。 持续的注意力作为一种技能，包括警觉和专注 在很长一段时间内。这项技能在日常生活中发挥着重要作用， 生活和就业市场，例如，需要检查的工作。这 研究为我们提供了关于年龄如何影响使用的信息， 这种技能的获得以及警觉和专注是如何 易受老化的影响。

This work attempts to determine the nature of sustained attention and age differences and changes particular to it. Sustained attention is usually examined in a laboratory setting where the salient conditions of sustained attention can be controlled. This year was devoted to collecting data on the influence of extended stimulus inspection time and increased target discriminability on moderating age differences under a high event rate. Sustained attention as a skill involves both alertness and concentration over long periods of time. This skill plays an important role in both daily living and in the job market place, e.g., jobs requiring inspection. This research provides us with information on how age influences the use and acquisition of that skill as well as how alertness and concentration are susceptible to aging influences.
