Sentence examples for biased tasks from inspiring English sources

In that way, by not allowing technology to take the reins on certain inherently biased tasks, we may be sowing the seeds of our own discord and prejudice.

The presence of noise, however, necessitates such a test in order to avoid the time-consuming and possibly biased task of visually classifying recordings or interspike interval histograms as corresponding to failures of transmission or not.

Consistent individual differences in behavioral tendency might also be an important route to biased task performance, and individual specialization in defense could be one ancillary outcome (Sendova-Franks and Franks 1994; Fewell and Page 1999; Bolnick et al. 2003; Jeanson et al. 2005; Beshers and Fewell 2001; Sih et al. 2004; Bell 2007; Jandt et al. 2009; Pruitt and Riechert 2010).

Decision-making under ambiguity in cognitive bias tasks is a promising new indicator of affective valence in animals.

Prior automated operant go/go judgement bias tasks have involved training rats that an auditory cue of one frequency predicts a Reward and a cue of a different frequency predicts a Punisher (RP task), and then measuring whether ambiguous cues of intermediate frequency are judged as predicting reward ('optimism') or punishment ('pessimism'pessimism

Table  2014 provides a summary of findings in rodents using spatial judgement bias tasks.

In order to minimize recall bias, tasks we explored for a typical day to be chosen within the ongoing week; it was frequently the previous day.

In terms of affective state induced cognitive biases, the results from judgement bias tasks provide robust and relatively well-replicated findings that animals in a putative negative affective state exhibit negative judgements when interpretation of ambiguous cues is evaluated.

In terms of the relationship between affective state and cognitive bias, these data suggest that negative affective states in rats and vulnerability to stress-induced anhedonia are associated with pessimistic behaviour in judgement bias tasks.

Judgement bias tasks have now been evaluated in a number of species including rodents, with some promising data suggesting that negative judgement biases can be measured in animals in putative negative affective states (Mendl et al., 2006; 2010b).
