Abstract: The aim of the present research was to extend the earlier work of Donald Broadbent on the relationship between cognitive failures scores and the difference between performance of categoric search and focused attention tasks. Results from four experiments, involving over 400 subjects, replicated Broadbent's finding that there was a small negative correlation between level of cognitive failure and the difference in speed of responding in categoric search and focused attention choice reaction time tasks. However,… Show more

“…It should be noted that we did not assess the relationship between trait anxiety (sustained personality characteristics of anxiety) on CFQ score’s predictive power. Previous work has shown that high trait anxious individuals exhibit larger costs on performance under high cognitive load (Berggren et al, in press ), and also that trait anxiety score and CFQ score are positively correlated (e.g., Smith et al, 1995 ). Thus, one might argue that trait anxiety could account for some of the variance explained by CFQ score, despite our evidence suggesting that CFQ scorers are no differently affected in magnitude by load.…”

“…Prior to the test session, participants completed the Eysenck Personality Inventory (Eysenck and Eysenck, 1964), the Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger et al, 1970), and the Obsessional Personality Questionnaire (Broadbent et al, 1986). These personality scales were selected as they were the best examples of three personality dimensions which emerged from factor analysis of a variety of personality measures (Smith et al, 1995).…”

“…Evidence for CFQ as a trait measure is supported by high retest correlations [1] and in findings of relationships with scales measuring neuroticism [1, 6]. Reported cognitive failures also correlate with trait anxiety [2, 7], again supportive of the notion that CFQ is measuring an enduring ruminative cognitive style that may be characterized as either neurotic worry or a tendency to complain about everyday slips in cognition [6]. …”

“…The correlation between the Beck Depression Inventory and the CFQ was .47. Aside from additional findings of a relationship between cognitive failures and depressive symptoms, CFQ scores were found to be positively correlated with state anxiety symptoms even when the influence of trait anxiety and neuroticism were statistically controlled for [ 2 ], although there is also a significant association with trait anxiety [ 7 ]. Results of these studies are consistent with hypothesis that ruminative disorders characterized by negative emotional experiences, such as depression and anxiety, tax attentional processes and lead to noticeable changes in the experience of failures in routine activities that are reported in CFQ.…”
