These authors develop a task assignment model where it is assumed that there is a continuum of tasks which together produce a final good.
The algorithm's second version extends the functionality of the first by allowing the user or the Operating Software (OS) of the computing device to further modify a task's unit price of time or energy in order to achieve a linearly controlled operation point that lies somewhere in the economy-performance mode continuum of the task's execution.
Perhaps some of you have very technical and specialized professions, but if we are anything alike, our worlds of work and the rest of our lives are merged – for better or worse – in a continuum of online and mobile tasks, even when we are in meetings together.
We now include, in the Results section, a traffic analogy that fits more closely: "This task presented a continuum of situations, ranging from complete experimenter control ("forced choices," with only one target accessible), to moderate experimenter influence Our task is roughly analogous: often the stimulus does not fully specify the right answer, leaving a choice to be made".
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.04677.004 This task presented a continuum of situations, ranging from complete experimenter control ('forced choices', with only one target accessible), to moderate experimenter influence (e.g., a barrier that changed mid-trial might provoke a change of mind), to free choices with both targets accessible.
While research using the AGN task in depression [ 43] claims it as a measure of 'inhibitory control', the analytic methods previously employed often prevent interpretation beyond a continuum of impairment (e.g. number of errors on a task).
The applied methods for this aim to fulfill a continuum of requirements, from (neuro) biologically inspired ones, to more technical and task-oriented approaches.
Adding further to the evidence of a clinical overlap is the observation in ALS patients without dementia of specific difficulties in performing cognitive tasks sensitive to frontal lobe dysfunction, suggesting a continuum of involvement (Table I, Figure 1).
A continuum of inflammatory responses would be expected, with low repetition low force (LRLF) tasks showing the least, and high repetition high force (HRHF) tasks showing the most.
We have adapted the classic task of random number generation (Jahanshahi, Dirnberger, Fuller, & Frith, 2000) to allow both an objective, graded continuum of integration of stimulus information, and also a graded continuum of subjective experience of voluntariness regarding action choice.
