Assuming the processing of the tens digits to be specifically impaired in neglect patients, we hypothesized that for the respective comparisons of within- and between-decade comparisons neglect patients should present with more difficulties for between- as compared to within-decade comparisons, because in the latter the tens digits are irrelevant.
This finding can be explained if we assume that the processing of the letters and their storage in memory occurred during the preparation of the motor response of the CVS task, leading to an interference.
Our findings pose a challenge to single-mechanism theories that assume that the processing of regular formations is not subserved by a distinct neural substrate (e.g., Joanisse and Seidenberg, 2005; McClelland and Patterson, 2002; Rumelhart and McClelland, 1986; Smolka et al., 2007).
In this respect, it has been assumed that the processing of emotional prosody elicits bilateral fronto-temporal patterns (e.g. [ 37]), while processing of linguistic prosody has been suggested to be left lateralized in the superior temporal gyrus (for a review see [ 38]; but see [ 39] for activation of Broca's area associated with linguistic aspects of prosody).
On the other hand, neuro-cognitive activity with no obvious trigger in the external environment is assumed to reflect the processing of internally generated signals (the offline mode).
Yet, it is known that impairment due to concurrent articulation depends on the type of concurrent articulation and cannot be assumed to inhibit the processing of auditory-verbal information in the phonological loop completely (cf. [ 33- 35]).
From a clinical perspective, cognitive models of anxiety also assume the existence of a threat-processing system and propose that anxiety is characterized by cognitive biases (in particular, in stimulus evaluation and selective attention) which favour the processing of threat cues.
The predicted mitochondrial targeting sequence of ELAC2 suggests that RNase ZL localizes to mitochondria, whereas RNase ZS might accordingly be assumed to be responsible for the processing of nuclear encoded tRNAs.
N2 is assumed to be related to the processing of deviant stimuli [ 37].
To resemble the heterogeneous environment in the clouds, we assumed the base processing speeds of all 1000 task slots were evenly distributed within a fixed range, while the two slots on the same VM had identical base speed.
