Previous Human Factors research has focused on stress as a stressor that is external and/or unrelated to the task. However, the larger body of literature points to the inclusion of stress experiences as an individual difference that may have implications for performance decrement. Feedback Intervention Theory posits that feedback directed toward the person, or toward the task may have differential effects on stress experiences such that performance may be decreased or increased based on feedback content. This literature review reveals the connections across domains that have been exemplified in vigilance studies and suggests implementing these ideas across task types for a more complete picture of performance.
