As in acting, the explicit task is to construct a viable mask or persona.
Here we show that offline improvements following the explicit task are dependent on a circuit that includes M1 but not IPL.
In 2013, the incoming central bank boss, Haruhiko Kuroda, was given the explicit task of driving down the value of the yen by the prime minister, Shinzo Abe, as part of a three-arrowed scheme to increase growth.
A similar magnitude of enhancement develops over a night of sleep following an implicit task, in which a sequence of movements is acquired unintentionally, or following an explicit task, in which the same sequence is acquired intentionally2.
The expected three-way interaction effect was also observed on the number of correct responses in the explicit task F 1, 19) = 5, p < 0.04.
Placed on the London stock market a year ago with the explicit task of finding a company to take over, Horizon recently took a controlling stake in APR Energy of Florida.
Patients also displayed an enhanced frontally distributed activity in the explicit task that may represent an impairment in the integration of intrinsic contextual information, a disturbance in the ability to inhibit proactive interference or a combination of both processes.
Critically, we observed that, for non-social stimuli, the interaction effect of the factors participants and polarity on response time was significant in the explicit task, F 1, 8) = 4.9, p < 0.05.
This involves fMRI scanning in the absence of an explicit task (i.e., in the resting state) and is, therefore, much more easily performed and tolerated by neurological and neuropsychiatric patient groups.
An important result was the observation of the expected three-way interaction effect of the factors polarity, participants, and social component on response time in the explicit task F 1, 19) = 4.8, p < 0.05.
In two more experiments, we show that training on the interference tasks promotes a sleep-dependent enhancement of the primary learning task even without explicit task retrieval, a novel observation indicating that an instance of learning can enhance related memories through a sleep-dependent mechanism.
