This initial period of alternation is to avoid familiarity and habituation clouding the later assessment.
To avoid erroneous rapid alternations in the classification, a smoothing technique is applied, averaging the decision on each segment with past segment decisions.
To obtain a good alternation of choices during the game, and to avoid any maintenance effects that could also affect the decision processes, all the subjects were strongly encouraged to avoid systematic behaviors throughout the whole game.
However, it may be better to rely solely on the visual stimuli, to avoid the possibility of alternation without actual fixation.
To avoid fatigue, the instruments were presented in alternation, that is, PEP was applied followed by a second test, alternating Rorschach, IDCP, RA and RV, in this sequence.
In the rewarded alternation test, where a mouse has to use working memory to avoid a recently visited target arm for food reward, WT and Salm3−/− mice showed comparable improvements over 12 test days (six blocks).
Blocks were presented pseudo-randomly to increase condition (stimulus category) alternation and avoid condition repetition among successive blocks.
Candidate SNPs should trigger greater energy alternation to ensure effectiveness.
In the spontaneous alternation experiments within Y-maze task, one sample t-test was used for comparison of the alternation to chance level (50%).
Tc1 transchromosomic mice show comparable rates of alternation to euploid control mice (O'Doherty et al., 2005).
