Friendly Fire and the Sustained Attention to Response Task

摘要

Objective: We investigated whether losses of inhibitory control could be responsible for some friendly-fire incidents.n Background: Several factors are commonly cited to explain friendly-fire incidents, but failure of inhibitory control has not yet been explored. The Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) could be a valid model for inhibition failures in some combat scenarios.n Method: Participants completed small-arms simulations using near infrared emitter guns, confronting research a
