Title

The Effects Of Individual Differences On Vigilance Training And Performance In A Dynamic Vigilance Task

Abstract

Efforts to mitigate the vigilance decrement include training with feedback in the form of knowledge of results (KR). However, the influences of individual differences on vigilance training and performance are not well understood. Based on previous studies on individual differences in vigilance, the present study investigates the impact of feedback, as well as six individual differences variables (i.e. Attentional Control, Boredom Proneness, Cognitive Failures, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism) on several performance measures. Results indicated that, in general, individual differences did not affect performance or training effectiveness. Hence, KR training may be effective for most operators confronted with monitoring tasks.
