In light of this controversy, it is interesting that, in the current study, TMS over left IFG and pMTG selectively disrupted tasks involving high semantic control demands while nonsemantic aspects of executive processing were unaffected.
There is some evidence of dorsal striatum involvement in spatial memory (De Leonibus et al., 2005), but the level of depletion (maximum 25%) seen in the CPu was unlikely to be sufficient to disrupt task performance in the current experiments.
Therefore, 2 follow-up experiments were performed using independent samples of task-naive participants to clarify the extent to which low-frequency rTMS was capable of disrupting task-naive probabilistic association learning, as opposed to suppressing facilitation of learning dependent on multiple session practice or between session consolidation (as per Robertson 2009).
In everyday life, distracting stimuli often interfere with daily tasks, and disrupt successful task performance.
The loss of AWK, as he was known, shot on July 12th at point-blank range by Mohammad Sardar, for many years his security chief, is almost bound to disrupt the task of pacifying the south of Afghanistan.
New methodology such as communications analysis and EDA measurement may bridge the gap, allowing for real time measurement of workload without disrupting the task flow.
Users and marketers alike can't wait for some savvy startup to develop innovative and reliable ad formats that fit within the app experience and engage the user without disrupting the task at hand.
If one memory task disrupts the other memory task, then the two tasks may use the same working memory system.
The authors argued that the secondary task disrupted the additional processing indirectly engendered by the preceding test.
Specifically, the measures themselves may impact workload; the measures were either too far apart to be meaningful, or so close in timing as to seriously disrupt the tasks being measured.
