Inhibition in Prolonged Work Tasks.
van der Ven, A. H. G. S.; And Others
Applied Psychological Measurement, v13 n2 p177-91 Jun 1989
A new model is presented that explains reaction time fluctuations in prolonged work tasks. The model extends the so-called Poisson-Erlang model and accounts for long-term trend effects in the reaction time curve. The model is consistent with Spearman's hypothesis that inhibition increases during work and decreases during rest. (TJH)
