Abstract:
Cognitive Failures Questionnaire devised by Broadbent, Cooper, Fitzgerald, and Parkes (1982) is a questionnaire which measures frequencies of failure behaviors in daily life. In this study, the relation between CFQ score and performance on visual attentional task was examined. Subjects were 20 female college students. In one task there was no information about target location, in other tasks signal stimulus was presented previously at the same location as target. The result indicates that, regardless of task condition, high CFQ score subjects tended to search the target, low score subjects focused their attention on the location where the target would be presented. These results agree with the notion of Broadbent, Broadbent, and Jones (1986).
