Measure of vigilance (sustained attention). In this task, participants monitor a clock-like display where a hand moves at regular intervals, but occasionally skipping a beat. Feedback is provided through a red flash for incorrect responses and a green flash for correct ones. Contrary to the Mackworth Clock Task, for which reaction time is the primary outcome of interest, the Vigilance Clock Task focuses on accuracy. Every characteristic of the task can be easily changed.
