Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Mathematical Modeling
  • Human Factors

Background:

  • Reaction-time fluctuation is a common challenge in prolonged work tasks.
  • Existing inhibition-based models do not fully capture the dynamics of task transitions.
  • Understanding these dynamics is crucial for optimizing work performance and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new stochastic model for reaction-time fluctuation.
  • To incorporate inhibition-dependent transitions between work and distraction periods.
  • To present a more plausible and flexible alternative to existing inhibition-based models.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a countable-time decision model where transitions occur at random points.
  • Modeling transition probabilities based on inhibition levels that change with work and distraction.
