Recently, Vimercati et al. (2013) expanded Charlton et al.'s results by looking at 22 DS adult subjects performing a serial task (tapping).
Conversely, unconscious information fails to be sequentially dispatched to the successive steps of a serial task and, therefore, remains blocked within a fixed representational state, where it slowly decays.
Lord Sainsbury, a serial task-forcer until he became a Labour minister in 1998, is worth £3.1 billion.
Attention, concentration, and working memory are evaluated using a sustained attention task, a serial subtraction task, and digits forward and backwards (max 6 points).
Subjects reported the presence or absence of a target which could be either a "T", for the serial task, or a "+" for the parallel task, among distractors, which were in both cases "L"s.
A manipulation check revealed that discrimination accuracy increased significantly from 75% over all subjects in Experiment 1 to 95% in Experiment 2. The other difference is that, in Experiment 2, we employed an automated version (Unsworth et al., 2005) of the operation span task that uses a serial recognition task as the dependent measure rather than a serial recall task.
This explanation would be consistent with the process-based view of interference described by Marsh, Hughes, and Jones (2009), who showed that meaningful irrelevant speech does not equally interfere with all verbal tasks, but instead selectively interferes with a categorization task more than with a serial recall task.
Participants completed a three-back working memory task in which they were presented with words in a serial fashion (task duration: approximately 7 min).
The present study compared 37 patients with first-episode schizophrenia treated with atypical neuroleptics and 37 healthy matched control participants on two sequence learning tasks: a modified SRT for implicit sequence learning and a serial generation task (SGT) for explicit sequence learning.
Tannock et al. [ 12], using a serial addition task, showed that ANX + ADHD was associated with significantly worse performance on the slower trials of the task, but no difference at higher speeds where performance declined for children with ADHD.
DNA evidence from each scene linked the crimes and led to creation of a serial killer task force.
