The phrase "attentive tasks" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe tasks that require careful attention or focus to complete effectively.
Example: "In our training session, we will focus on attentive tasks that demand our full concentration to ensure accuracy."
Alternatives: "focused tasks" or "careful tasks".
Lavie (2005 20100) suggests that the increase in perceptual load affects the participant's performance by decreasing the influence of distractor stimuli in attentive tasks.
However, in our experiment, we could not verify the effect of perceptual load possibly because the load can have different effects on memory in relation to the effects on attentive tasks.
Therefore, after consecutive night shifts, the nurses' performance on attentive tasks decreased significantly, and their daytime levels of alertness were also lower, even though there was no difference in subjective sleepiness among the groups.
In rodents, direct evidence that hypocretin exerts behavioral roles in the neocortex was first shown by infusing the peptide into the PFC, which increases the attentive tasks in rats (Lambe et al. 2005).
We predicted that subitizing should not be affected by dual-task conditions nor by attentional load if it was a truly pre-attentive task.
This attention task ensured that participants focused gaze on the middle of the screen and remained attentive throughout subliminal stimulations.
A custom designed sustained Attentive Tracking task (see Figure 1) was based on the "FINST" task of Pylyshyn and Storm [ 62].
This study shows that the human visual system is capable of learning in an attentive tracking task, even though the visual stimuli are complex and the task is attentionally demanding.
Thus as performance of the DD and CA control children did not differ on the attentive tracking task, which is considered a measure of shifting of attention, it is unlikely that dyslexia is primarily associated with deficits in the parietal cortex per se, though it may be associated with rate of processing for parietal tasks.
The high nonverbal IQ group also showed superior performance on the Length Discrimination task, but this difference was not significant, Z = -1.3, p =.10, whereas in the Attentive Tracking task the high nonverbal IQ group did demonstrate superior performance, Z = -1.9, p =.05.
The threshold for number of balls tracked in the Attentive Tracking task for DD and CA children are shown in Figure 6.
