Sažetak

The critism is put on that in the majority of vigilance experiments the motivational aspect of the performance was rather neglected, i. e. errors of omission as well as false-alarm responses did not have consequences of any appreciable importance for the subject. In the experiment described in this paper subjects were punished (short horn blast) immediately after either kind of performance error. The results obtained reveal the absence of the common performance decrement under the reinforcement condition. EEG data suggest that subjects remain more awake in the reinforcement condition, while drawsing during the nonreinforcement runs.
