The phrase "alternation performance" is not commonly used in written English and may not be clear without context.
It could be used in specific fields such as linguistics or performance studies, where it might refer to the performance of alternating patterns or behaviors.
Example: "The alternation performance of the actors was crucial in conveying the duality of the characters."
Alternatives: "alternating performance" or "performance of alternation".
NMDA receptor antagonists impair prefrontal cortex function as accessed via spatial delayed alternation performance in rats: modulation by dopamine.
By contrast, when muscimol was infused in dorsal agranular insular cortex (AId)—a region that is strongly interconnected with dorsomedial prefrontal regions there was no effect on delayed spatial alternation performance.
The ameliorative effects of YKS on impaired delayed alternation performance were reduced by intracranial infusions of a dopamine D1 receptor antagonist, SCH 23390, into the prelimbic cortical region of the PFC, and the YKS effects on impaired reversal learning were done by the infusions into the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC).
Spontaneous alternation performance was tested using a symmetrical Y-maze, as described previously [7], [22].
Besides requiring motivation to explore, spontaneous alternation performance critically depends on working memory and strategy efficiency.
The septohippocampal cholinergic pathway has an established role in mediating spatial working memory including spontaneous alternation performance in the Y-maze [35], [36], [37].
This difference between partial and total alternation performances could be explained by the fact that partial alternation is easier to perform for the animals than total alternation, hence the lack of effect in the first task.
Post-hoc Fisher's PLSD test revealed no significant difference in alternation performances between 5XFAD and BACE1+/−·5XFAD mice (p = 0.24), indicating that BACE1+/− deletion failed to improve the spatial working memory defect in 5XFAD mice at this advanced age.
For the discrete trial rewarded alternation paradigm, performance was expressed as the percentage alternation, both as a total across the whole of the session and per block of 10 trials.
Nevertheless, by the end of T-maze alternation training, the performance levels of the Fornix rats appeared to almost match those of the control group (Fig. 9).
As a consequence, there is an alternation between similar performance in the two groups during plateaus and a divergence between the groups when typically developing children advance but the children with early delay are still at plateau.
