“…Moreover, while in Lara et al (2018) P3 decreased across time-on-task, in Bonnefond et al (2010) late P1 rather increased across blocks. Late ERPs (i.e., as P3 or late P1) changes across time-on-task have received diverse interpretations by resources theories: while a decrease in amplitude has been proposed as a marker of resource depletion with time-on-task (Lara et al, 2018;Warm et al, 2008), increased amplitude has been associated with increased effort to keep resources allocation on the external task (Bonnefond et al, 2010;Koelega et al, 1992).…”

“…Previous evidence is both scarce and inconsistent regarding ERPs associated with the executive vigilance decrement, as either increased (Lara et al, 2018), decreased (Boksem et al, 2005), or similar (Reteig et al, 2019) N1 across time‐on‐task has been reported. Moreover, while in Lara et al (2018) P3 decreased across time‐on‐task, in Bonnefond et al (2010) late P1 rather increased across blocks.

“…Although Boksem et al (2005) observed a general change in N1 and N2 amplitudes across time‐on‐task, these changes were not specifically associated with hits. Lara et al (2018) observed an increase in N1 and a decrease in N2 amplitude as task progressed. However, in Lara et al no decrement in hits across time‐on‐task was observed, so changes in ERPs were not accompanied by a decrease in behavioral responses.…”

Event‐related potentials associated with attentional networks evidence changes in executive and arousal vigilance

et al. 2023

Attention is regulated by three independent but interacting networks, that is, alerting, comprising phasic alertness and vigilance, orienting, and executive control. Previous studies analyzing event‐related potentials (ERPs) associated with attentional networks have focused on phasic alertness, orienting, and executive control, without an independent measure of vigilance. ERPs associated with vigilance have been instead measured in separate studies and via different tasks. The present study aimed to differentiate ERPs associated with attentional networks by simultaneously measuring vigilance along with phasic alertness, orienting, and executive control. Forty participants (34 women, age: M = 25.96; SD = 4.96) completed two sessions wherein the electroencephalogram was recorded while they completed the Attentional Networks Test for Interactions and Vigilance—executive and arousal components, a task that measures phasic alertness, orienting, and executive control along with executive (i.e., detection of infrequent critical signals) and arousal (i.e., sustaining a fast reaction to environmental stimuli) vigilance. ERPs previously associated with attentional networks were replicated here: (a) N1, P2, and contingent negative variation for phasic alertness; (b) P1, N1, and P3 for orienting; and (c) N2 and slow positivity for executive control. Importantly, different ERPs were associated with vigilance: while the executive vigilance decrement was associated with an increase in P3 and slow positivity across time‐on‐task, arousal vigilance loss was associated with reduced N1 and P2 amplitude. The present study shows that attentional networks can be described by different ERPs simultaneously observed in a single session, including independent measures of executive and arousal vigilance on its assessment.

“…Skin temperature (ST) is a rather simple experimental methodology in which a sensor records the temperature of the participant. Even though the use of skin temperature in psychological research date back many years (see Maslach et al, 1972) and has attracted attention in cognitive science research due to its cost-effectiveness and simplicity of use (Lara et al, 2018), this method has not found as many applications as the other methodologies listed above.…”

Questionnaire Measures and Physiological Correlates of Presence: A Systematic Review

2020

The published literature has produced several definitions for the sense of presence in a simulated environment, as well as various methods for measuring it. The variety of conceptualizations makes it difficult for researchers to interpret, compare, and evaluate the presence ratings obtained from individual studies. Presence has been measured by employing questionnaires, physiological indices, behavioral feedbacks, and interviews. A systematic literature review was conducted to provide insight into the definitions and measurements of presence in studies from 2002 to 2019, with a focus on questionnaires and physiological measures. The review showed that scholars had introduced various definitions of presence that often originate from different theoretical standpoints and that this has produced a multitude of different questionnaires that aim to measure presence. At the same time, physiological studies that investigate the physiological correlates of the sense of presence have often shown ambiguous results or have not been replicated. Most of the scholars have preferred the use of questionnaires, with Witmer and Singer's Presence Questionnaire being the most prevalent. Among the physiological measures, electroencephalography was the most frequently used. The conclusions of the present review aim to stimulate future structured efforts to standardize the use of the construct of presence, as well as inspire the replication of the findings reported in the published literature.

“…These features therefore make the recording of skin temperature a valid method in Neuroergonomics research. Research has revealed that increments in the DPG were associated with earlier sleep latency and higher somnolence at the beginning of the night (Kräuchi et al, 1999), and with lower task performance in vigilance tasks like the SART (Lara et al, 2018) and the PVT (Romeijn and Van Someren, 2011; Molina et al, 2017). Altogether, these findings suggest that skin temperature (mainly the DPG) could be used as a neuroergonomic marker of vigilance.…”

It is currently assumed that exposure to an artificial blue-enriched light enhances human alertness and task performance, but recent research has suggested that behavioral effects are influenced by the basal state of arousal. Here, we tested whether the effect of blue-enriched lighting on vigilance performance depends on participants’ arousal level. Twenty-four participants completed four sessions (blue-enriched vs. dim light × low vs. high arousal) at 10 pm on four consecutive days, following a repeated-measures design. Participants’ arousal was manipulated parametrically through the execution of a cycling task at two intensities (low vs. moderate), and was checked by monitoring their heart rate. On each session, distal and proximal skin temperatures were recorded as a neuroergonomic index of vigilance, while participants performed a 20-min psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) under either blue-enriched light or dim light conditions. The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), and Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale (RPE) were used to measure subjective psychological state. The results showed that the exercise-induced manipulation of arousal produced robust alerting effects in most measures, while the lighting manipulation only attenuated subjective sleepiness and enhanced positive affect, but it did not influence behavior or physiology. Acute exposure to a blue-enriched light was practically ineffective when the arousal level was over baseline. The present research favored the use of acute physical exercise over acute exposure to blue-enriched lighting in order to boost humans’ alertness when necessary, as in work settings where maintaining optimal levels of attention is difficult (shift work, night-work, vigilance tasks) and necessary to prevent human error and accidents.
