(iv) Stops before returning to check – mean number of places visited between returns to the key locale.
It was expected that NAc lesion would increase vigor, demonstrated by a significant main effect of lesion on the two vigor-related measures (frequency of checking and length of check) and no significant effects of lesion on the two focus-related measures (recurrence time of checking and stops before returning to check).
Similarly, for the measures of focus (recurrence time of checking and number of stops before returning to check), their correlation coefficient was strong and higher than any correlation with a measure of vigor, except for one correlation, i.e. recurrence time of checking with frequency of checking, which was somewhat stronger than the correlation of the within-focus measures (0.488 vs. 0.410).
For the two measures of focus, there was a significant but small main effect of lesion for one of the measures (recurrence time of checking – F1,90 = 8.12, P = 0.005, = 0.083) but no significant main effect of lesion for the other measure of focus (stops before returning to check – F1,90 = 0.40, P = 0.841, = 0).
Accordingly, it was expected that compulsive checking behavior would be evident only in the NAc lesion group injected with DPAT because only in this group would there be an effect on frequency of checking and length of check (due to a main effect of lesion), and on the recurrence time of checking and stops before returning to check (due to a main effect of drug).
Specifically, a lesion to the NAc altered the amount of checking behavior (as indexed by a change simultaneously in both the 'frequency of checking' and 'length of check'), whereas a lesion to the orbital frontal cortex affected the delay between checks of the key locale (as indexed by a change simultaneously in both the 'time to return to check' and 'number of stops before returning to check').
The function only returns to check errors when "check data" is supplied as an input argument.
If I had not told them I will return to check the next day, even if they would have gone, they would not have gone on the same day they would have waited for some time before taking action".
But even on Sundays, if it's Sunday night baseball or football, I'll wake up to check scores before returning to bed.
We process news of suicide bombings quickly and efficiently, choosing between the two most likely culprits – Isis or the Kurdish PKK – while side-stepping social media blocks and checking on friends before returning to "normal" life.
