Mental fatigue and goal-oriented behaviour: effects of task context on behaviour guidance Mental fatigue and goal-oriented behaviour: effects of task context on behaviour guidance Dimitri van der Linden, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 17, August 2004, nr. 4, pp. 252-271. As mental fatigue is related to performance and safety, it has received considerable interest from researchers in work psychology. Nevertheless, much is unknown about the specific way fatigue affects task behaviour and performance. In the current article we argue that fatigue affects behaviour through a decreased impact of conscious goals and behavioural rules on choice of actions. This would manifest itself as a diminished cognitive flexibility and as difficulties in executing or initiating planning. We present two experiments in which we investigate whether fatigue-induced participants show less flexibility and planning than non-fatigued participants. In experiment 1 (n = 65), participants had to explore a computer application unfamiliar to them. In experiment 2 (n = 58) participants worked on standard neuropsychological tests that assessed flexibility and planning. The results of both experiments showed that, compared to the non-fatigued participants, fatigue participants were less flexible and displayed less effective or less efficient planning. These results support the idea of decreased influence of conscious goals and rules under fatigue. This conclusion has practical implications for as it may support the prediction and prevention of fatigue-related errors and accidents.

Aim: To compare the pre-clinical and clinical students` perceptions about the non-pharmacological behaviour management techniques in paediatric dentistry and to investigate the influence of the dental curriculum on the students` knowledge regarding this issue. Methods: A total of 283 students from the IV-and X-semester completed a questionnaire, consisted of 12 statements, describing the nonpharmacological behaviour management techniques for the treatment of paediatric dental patients. The acceptability rate was evaluated with a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. Results: The students from all courses demonstrated high acceptance for Reinforcement and Desensitization techniques and low for the Negative reinforcement and Physical restraint. The comparison between the perceptions of the pre-clinical and clinical students demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the acceptance of the physical restraint, along with Nonverbal communication, Modelling and Parental presence/absence (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results provide information about the students’ knowledge and skills in behaviour management techniques together with some insights about how the educational process can modify the students` perceptions and views in dealing with paediatric dental patients.

Aim: To assess parent’s knowledge concerning the timing of the first dental visit of their children, the parent’s attitude towards behaviour modification for their children in the first dental visit and to find out the main reason to convoy the child to the dental clinic among the parents attending to the paediatric dentistry. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A cross-sectional study was done among the parents who brought their children to a paediatric dental clinic, a self- administered questionnaire consisting of 12 items and questionnaires were given separately to the parents to minimize the bias. Responses obtained were tabulated and the results of the questionnaire were expressed as frequency distribution and computed in percentages. RESULTS: Forty-eight per cent of parents expressed that the first dental visit should be at 6 years of age. 60.4% believed that first dental visit is important and 34.7% of the parents stated that child will be uncooperative in the first year and 35.6% parents agreed to promote behaviour guidance during the first dental visit if their children do not have pain, motivation is the best approach tobring the child to the clinic. 77% expressed emergency was the reason to visit the dentist and 69.4% expressed if chief complaint is treated there is no need to visit a dentist. CONCLUSION: Majority of the parents were not aware the exact time for first dental visit due to lack of awareness. Parents disagree with behaviour guidance in the first dental visit; motivation was the best approach to carry the child to the dental clinic and whenever there is an emergency then they visit a dentist. There is no need to visit a dentist if the chief complaint is treated.
