OPERANT CONTROL OF EYE MOVEMENTS DURING HUMAN VIGILANCE

EYE MOVEMENTS WERE USED AS A CRITERION OF OBSERVING RESPONSES IN A VIGILANCE TASK. TIME ON WATCH AND SIGNAL RATES SIMILARLY AFFECTED BOTH EYE MOVEMENT RATES AND PERCENTAGE OF DETECTIONS. OBSERVING RATE MAY ACCOUNT FOR DETECTION DATA, AND MAY BE A MORE STABLE MEASURE OF VIGILANCE THAN DETECTION RATE IS, ESPECIALLY WHEN VERY FEW SIGNALS OCCUR. /AUTHOR/
