title: Probability of Signal Detection in a Vigilance Task.
abstract: It is hypothesized that the probability of detecting a signal in a vigilance task depends upon its temporal location with respect to the preceding series of signals. Probability of detection should be at a maximum when the signal occurs after a temporal interval which is equivalent to the mean of the intervals between the preceding signals detected. The experimental results support this hypothesis.
