Holmboe and colleagues administered a task in which 9- to 10-month-old infants at high familial risk of ASD were required selectively to inhibit their looks to a peripherally occurring distractor and found that a subset showed difficulty disengaging attention, as well as less selective inhibition (Holmboe et al., 2010).
The aim of this study was to shed light on the neuropsychological profile of those with PEs by administering a working memory task in combination with functional and structural brain imaging.
To reduce a possible learning effect, we administered a baseline task after the respective aftereffect tasks.
The participants were 52 students in a school of design, who were administered a designing task and the Meaning Test, assessing a broad range of cognitive processes.
The results of Experiment 1, which administered a Stroop task with five SOAs in a manual response modality, clearly showed a different pattern to those of Glaser and Glaser (1982) and Roelofs (2010).
One common approach to measuring the stress response in the stress literature is to administer a stressful task, and then measure changes in the autonomic response, serological levels of cytokines, or changes in cortisol response (via any step in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis).[ 28, 52] In these studies, blood samples are collected at baseline and post-task.
72, 78 In one, a subsample of patients with partial seizures taking part in a randomized, double-blind, controlled study comparing the cognitive effects of TPM and LTG, was administered a computerized task measuring scanning, divided attention, and effective field of view (via the Performance On-Line, or POL).
Polderman et al. (2006) administered a memory-task comparable to the SMS-task to 12-years old twins and their siblings (97 MZ and 80 DZ twin pairs, and 55 siblings of these twins).
Povinelli (2000) also attempted to simplify the trap-tube problem by administering an equivalent trap task with a different setup.
It's easy to write off this interview as a softball, which it was: Hannity recently emceed at CPAC, where his primary task was administering a tongue bath to anything candidate-shaped that moved within his field of vision.
The study followed an experimental design by assigning language learners to three groups including two experimental groups and one control group, conducting 8 intervention sessions, and administering a 32-item discourse completion task to assess their knowledge of formulaic sequences.
