Sentence examples for a timing task from inspiring English sources

Matell, Meck and Nicolelis [2] demonstrated that neurons in the dorsal-anterior striatum of rats 'peak' in their firing rates at the same time as maximal lever pressing during a timing task; both patterns coincide with the criterion duration.

Participants (N = 60) learned a set of three variations of a timing task according to a similar (900, 1000 and 1100 ms) or dissimilar parameter condition (700, 1000 and 1300 ms) with either a blocked or random practice order: this resulted in 4 experimental groups.

To determine if time is calibrated differentially as a function of perceived animate or inanimate context, here we used interference paradigms in which a timing task was run concurrently with the presentation of different computer-graphics characters in the background.

Moreover, there was no significant attenuation of the time biases with repeated presentations of the moving character, contrary to the notion that pairing a timing task with a concurrent well-practiced distractor leads to a systematic reduction of the time bias with repeated presentations [28].

Variations of LHT have been used as a timing task in animals [ 31, 32].

Participants completed four types of temporal task; verbal estimation and temporal generalisation, a retrospective timing task and a passage of time judgement task.

Finally, our reaction time task was actually an anticipation timing task, as subjects were familiarized with the time frame in which the response had to be performed.

A motor timing task was administered, in which children had to produce a 1,000 ms interval.

Such signals, previously observed in the parietal cortex of monkeys performing a similar timing task (Leon and Shadlen, 2003) and in the striatum in a value based decision task (Lau and Glimcher, 2008), are potentially useful for guiding choice.

The results of the experiment clearly showed that the minimum time required to suppress an anticipatory timing task was prolonged when the participants were forced to use time estimation processes to initiate their responses.

Performance measures on a coincidence timing task have previously been associated with psychometric IQ suggesting that the ability of an individual to devote processing resources at the required time may account for some of intelligence test variance.
