In actual driving conditions, task engagement would likely continue until a correct menu item is selected, resulting in additional time spent with the eyes off the roadway.
In addition left parietal P300 amplitudes were lower during the continuous performance task compared to the go/no-go (go and no-go conditions) task and the cued target detection task.
Three task conditions (Covert task, Saccade task and Combined task) were delivered, each consisting of six successive blocks.
An average value for each temporal parameter in each stepping direction and for both task conditions (single task and dual task) was calculated.
Importantly, identical stimuli were used across the experimental task conditions, varying task instructions only.
Thus, we predicted that PMC activity during a "rest" condition (task-related deactivation) will be correlated with scores on the ME subscale, as non-task oriented activity of the PMC may related to spontaneous self-referential thoughts or processes.
In the baseline condition, task instructions did not contain any specification concerning speed or accuracy.
The present study was performed to examine brain activity in a two-participant condition task following actor-response related feedback correlated with errors.
In the uniform-texture condition task difficulty was increased by rotating the images either 20° or −20° in the image plane.
They were then randomly assigned to one of the two conditions (visuospatial task versus no task).
In the more difficult subtraction and text entry conditions, these tasks also make heavy demands on declarative memory.
