The phrase "a reduction in task" is not correct in standard English usage.
It may be intended to refer to a decrease in the number or complexity of tasks, but it is not a commonly used expression.
Example: "The new software implementation resulted in a reduction in task complexity, allowing employees to focus on more critical projects."
Alternatives: "a decrease in tasks" or "a simplification of tasks."
Using interleaved perfusion BOLD measurements, Shmuel et al. (2002) showed that a reduction in task-specific neuronal activity is a significant contributor to the negative visual BOLD signal.
Neural priming (NP) is a term used to describe a reduction in task-dependent neural activity that typically accompanies BP [ 20].
He said the savings would come from a reduction in administration tasks being undertaken by office staff.
Paul Carter, leader of the council, said the savings would come from a reduction in administration tasks being undertaken by office staff.
They found a reduction in off-task behavior of more than 20% after a physically active lesson and concluded that the active academic lessons had a positive effect on elementary school children's behavior in class.
However, cardiorespiratory responses were out of proportion to power output, which probably caused a reduction in time to task failure on an open loop exercise task (i.e., a constant workload bout where subjects had to exercise as long as possible).
It would then follow that older subjects with mild cognitive impairment have an altered ability to integrate visual information during dual-tasking, indicated by a reduction in their dual-task walking performance.
Although these tasks present healthy participants with a cognitive challenge, there may be a rapid reduction in task-associated activity as the task becomes more familiar or stimuli are repeated (Raichle et al., 1994).
Numerous influential models of attentional control have postulated that a byproduct of a top-down bias toward task-relevant processing could be a reduction in the degree of task-irrelevant processing [16] [18].
While retirement may mean less stress due to a reduction in work-related interactions, tasks, and responsibilities, it may also reduce the number or the intensity of possible social contacts, self-esteem-enhancing interactions, and opportunities for success leading to the hypothesis that less work-related stress may not at all make up for the loss or lack of social resources and meaningful tasks.
This pattern of neural activity is thought to promote a reduction in saccadic latency and lower task performance rates in gap trials52,53.
