TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Sustained attention and related perceptuomotor functions JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Weinstein, M. A1 - Silverstein, M. L. A1 - Nader, T. A1 - Turnbull, A. SP - 387 EP - 388 VL - 89 IS - 2 N2 - The present study examined the relationship between two measures of sustained attention on the Continuous Performance Test (reaction time and omission errors) and several performance measures on neuropsychological tests. Analysis suggests that sustained attention as measured by processing speed predicts performance on neuropsychological measures of relatively greater complexity and that the Stroop test, which requires maintaining steady focus on a changing stimulus field, may be more sensitive to lapses in attention than other neuropsychological tests.
