The 2 experimental conditions were presented pseudorandomly to prevent anticipatory effects, and to ensure the infant was presented with an equal number of trials per condition after every 10 trials.
On each trial, the stimulus was presented with an unlimited viewing time.
After a period of 5 min for acclimation, mice were presented with a null trial (no stimulus) followed by 10 trials at startle stimuli with intensities at 75 dB, 80 dB, 85 dB, 90 dB, 95 dB, 100 dB, 105 dB, 110 dB, 115 dB, or 120 dB.
Jurors were presented with a videotape at trial that showed him killing an Eagle Rock convenience store clerk; having committed such a brutal crime, he should never again walk free.
After a time delay, subjects are presented with a second sample trial, identical to the first, except that four novel objects were present, which were arranged in a different spatial configuration.
The subjects were presented with a series of trials consisting of a 2-s presentation of a reference auditory tone (either 2 kHz or 4 kHz), followed by the presentation of both (free-choice) or one (forced-choice) lever(s).
Before the testing, all subjects were presented with a few practice trials.
But if jurors had read the article it would have "suggested persuasively" to them that they were being presented "with a misleading picture at trial".
In the demonstration of PPI of acoustic startle reflex, subjects were presented with a series of discrete trials comprising a mixture of four types of trials.
Infants were presented with a maximum of 70 trials, but the task was stopped sooner if they became fussy.
During this task, participants are presented with a practice phase consisting of 10 trials, followed by a test phase, consisting of three blocks with increasing difficulty (ISI block 1 = 3000 ms; ISI block 2 = 2000 ms; ISI block 3 = 1500 ms), each containing 60 trials.
