Effects of age on activation to interference- (incongruent versus congruent conditions), error- (errors versus correct trials during the incongruent condition) and overall task-processing (incongruent plus congruent conditions, relative to implicit baseline) were tested in whole-brain voxel-wise analyses.
If any other traits were under substantial selection in primordial genomes, and these traits were not perfectly congruent with error minimization, then an evolutionary process favoring increased fitness would yield a sub-optimal genetic code.
The groups did not differ significantly on Digit Span-forward (p = .532), missed go responses (p = .753), Stroop congruent total errors (p = .928) or in CogstateTM Identification time (p = .487).487
In the congruent condition, the error rate was 3.7%; in the incongruent condition, it was 4.5%.
Restated, the former is congruent to a Type-I error probability, while the latter is a Fisher-type significance p-value.
Congruent and incongruent trials and errors of commission (response within 3 seconds) and omission (response after 3 seconds) errors were modeled as separate regressors in first-level multiple regression analysis.
Proportion of errors in the congruent, incongruent, and control condition are presented in Table 2.
Children responded faster in congruent trials and with fewer errors than in incongruent trials (2880 vs. 3452 ms, 94% vs. 78.9%).
We found that V1 activity was strongly affected by refractive errors, which was congruent with the findings of previous fMRI studies showing myopia-induced reductions in BOLD signals in and around V1 [ 11, 12].
This observation is congruent with the notion of error-prone non-homologous end joining compensating for defective HR since such short homology-flanked indels would facilitate the joining of two non-homologous sequences through processes such as micro-homology single-strand annealing.
Our results, showing no correlation between the frequency of tracking interruptions and the directional error in tracing are congruent with this dichotomy.
