The advanced oocyte developmental performance of treated female in contrast to the control is assumed to be due to the incorporation of PUFAs in the supplemental diet of treated group.
This progressive activation increase in task-relevant networks, furthermore, is associated with more mature performance and is yet truly age associated, as shown by those studies that controlled for developmental performance differences.
This paper presents one such model, the dynamic field theory (DFT) of spatial cognition, showing new simulations that provide a demonstration proof that the theory generalizes across developmental changes in performance in four tasks the Piagetian A-not-B task, a sandbox version of the A-not-B task, a canonical spatial recall task, and a position discrimination task.
However, developmental treatment affected performance in escape flights a year later by strengthening the trade-offs between different flight parameters.
Thus, if there were any consequences of developmental treatment for adult flight performance in our birds, this would suggest that the impact of developmental stress on flight performance is not wholly due to variation in the pattern of overall growth.
This result indicates that the capacity of developmental plasticity to compensate metabolic performance in this mitochondrial nuclear incompatible genotype was limited.
Our results are in accord with previous studies that have found 'silver spoon' effects: lasting negative effects of posthatching developmental stress on adult flight performance in birds (Criscuolo et al., 2011; Miller, 2011; Verspoor et al., 2007).
In this study, we assessed, in detail, developmental milestones, emotional behavior, and cognitive performance in animals submitted to HCs on Postnatal Day 10.
However, deficits in the executive functions network in the developmental dyscalculia population can also influence performance in the numerical Stroop task.
For instance, factors such as working memory have been shown to predict later mathematical performance in a longitudinal developmental study (Moeller, Pixner, Zuber, Kaufmann, & Nuerk, 2011).
