Paired t-tests between each pair of comparison conditions within a task indicated improved performance (p <.01) following task manipulations (fast event rate and/or incentives) for all but three go/no-go task comparisons: (1) SD of RTs between slow and fast conditions, (2) commission errors between slow and fast conditions and (3) mean RT between slow and incentive conditions.
Low and high load conditions of a visual search task were presented in a mixed design combined with a painfully cold or neutral cold pressor test.
Inhibition was indexed by time taken on the colour-word interference condition that followed the colour-naming and colour-word reading conditions of a bespoke Stroop task [ 28].
We show the validity of our method by applying it to data from healthy controls (n = 14) enabling differentiation between the conditions of a visual checkerboard task.
Whereas the two conditions share a task objective of generating a red circle on top of the black circle, clearly Condition 2 is more difficult that Condition 1. Condition 2, unlike Condition 1, presents you with a problem, and more so if you have never before worked in the Cartesian field.
We tested accuracy and reaction time (RT) on 12 conditions of a continuous-choice-response task; the 2-back task.
Specifically, the concern would be that the sensitivity to changes in the time course of the bipolar responses under photopic conditions reflects the use of a task requiring detection of flickering light inputs, while the task used under scotopic conditions may impose less stringent constraints on temporal sensitivity.
However, there is a lack of methodological standardisation and the studies vary in the age range of the participants included, the number and position of EEG channels used, the recording conditions (eye state and use of a task) and the analysis methods.
Therefore the lack of a deficit in the branching, dual-task and delay conditions of the task cannot easily be explained by the fact that these were an atypical high functioning group.
Using fMRI, we studied the neural correlates of self-referential processing by comparing BOLD signal changes during self and mother conditions of a self-reference effect (SRE) task.
and the causal links: the effect of a task (post-condition) may be exploited by another (pre-condition).
