Selective sustained attention is vital for higher order |
|
cognition. Although endogenous and exogenous factors |
|
influence selective sustained attention, assessment of |
|
the degree to which these factors influence performance |
|
and learning is often challenging. We report findings |
|
from the Track-It task, a paradigm that aims to assess |
|
the contribution of endogenous and exogenous factors to |
|
selective sustained attention within the same task. |
|
Behavioral accuracy and eye-tracking data on the Track-It |
|
task were correlated with performance on an explicit |
|
learning task. Behavioral accuracy and fixations to |
|
distractors during the Track-It task did not predict |
|
learning when exogenous factors supported selective |
|
sustained attention. In contrast, when endogenous factors |
|
supported selective sustained attention fixations to |
|
distractors were negatively correlated with learning. |
|
Similarly, when endogenous factors supported selective |
|
sustained attention higher behavioral accuracy was |
|
correlated with greater learning. These findings suggest |
|
that endogenously- and exogenously-driven selective |
|
sustained attention, as measured through different |
|
conditions of the Track-It task, may support different |
|
kinds of learning. [This article was published in |
