This context presents very different challengesfrom BMIs because patients may be unable to comply with task instructions [24].
Although passive language stimulation primarily engages receptive processes, it is necessary for use with low-functioning children who cannot comply with task instructions during an imaging procedure.
Data from 3 participants were excluded from all analyses involving the CAQ, due to missing data and failure to comply with task instructions, leaving 190 participants.
Seven of the participants had to be excluded from the data analysis of the memory task because they did not fully comply with task instructions (n = 4), or retrieval latencies deviated more than two standard deviations from the mean (n = 3).
Moreover, acquisition of data for child subjects is restricted by many factors including restlessness, motion, lack of child-friendly language tasks, and so on, as children are unable to comply with complicated tasks for long periods of time.
In the articulatory suppression conditions if more than 2 seconds elapsed without participants engaging in the secondary task, they were prompted to comply with the task.
One participant was excluded from subsequent analyses because of failure to comply with the task instructions.
This company also entered into a voluntary agreement with the IAG and agreed to comply with all task force recommendations.
At each cognitive test, participants rated how motivated they were to comply with the task on a 7-point Likert-scale from 0 (not at all motivated) to 6 (very motivated).
These control tests comprised a 'perceptual-cue' control test, to assess whether subjects could discriminate changes in perceptual cues (timbre or pitch) driving the relevant ASA test; and a 'task-response' test, to assess whether subjects could reliably comply with the task response requirements of the relevant ASA test.
