AGING INFLUENCE ON SUSTAINED ATTENTION

这项研究试图确定持续注意力和年龄的性质 它所特有的差异和变化。持续的关注通常是 在实验室环境中进行检查，在该环境中持续的显著条件 注意力是可以控制的。今年致力于收集关于 刺激检查时间延长和靶点增加的影响 在高事件发生率下缓和年龄差异的可区分性。 作为一项技能，持续的注意力既需要警觉，也需要集中精力 经过很长一段时间。这项技能在日常生活中扮演着重要的角色 在生活和就业市场中，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和 获得这种技能，以及警觉性和专注力如何 易受年龄影响的。

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.
