Popis: | Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from the scalp of subjects as they monitored changing digital readouts for values that went “out-of-bounds”. Workload was manipulated by varying the number of readouts that were monitored concurrently. The ERPs elicited by changes in the readouts showed long latency positivities that increased in amplitude, not only with the number of readouts monitored, but also with the number of monitored readouts that were “in danger” of going out-of-bounds. No effects were found due to the number of non-monitored readouts “in danger”. This evidence indicates that subjects (1) selectively attended to the monitored readouts and (2) processed the monitored readouts differently as the readouts approached the out-of-bounds levels to which an overt response was required. |
