For multiple trials, the probe was the multiple of either cue digits (e.g., "63").
Although the same individuals were used for multiple trials across their period in captivity, the same pairs of individuals were never recreated in any trials.
This sequence was repeated for multiple trials, half of the trials with intervening objects in the 1-min retention period, and the other half with no intervening objects (none, see Figure 4).
To examine whether participant characteristics (age, gender, height, weight, BMI), we fit another series of models with each gait/blood flow measure under each task condition as the dependent variable; each participant characteristic as the fixed effect of interest; and a participant random effect to account for multiple trials.
But meta-analysis, though a respectable technique for extracting information from multiple trials of particular treatments too small to be of individual significance, is being stretched to the limit here.
In Liu and Frank [Neuroimage 21 (2004) 387 400], it is shown that there is a fundamental theoretical trade-off between estimation efficiency and detection power for experiments with multiple trial types and that there is an empirical relation between estimation efficiency and conditional entropy.
It was found that the mid-DLPFC was recruited for both single and multiple trial conditions, rather than selectively for just the multiple trials condition.
To control for multiple tests, trial sequential monitoring boundaries for both type 1 (5%) and type 2 (20%) error rates were established using O'Brien-Fleming adjustments [ 53, 54].
However, to control for multiple testing, trials that are not stopped early generally require larger sample sizes compared with similarly designed non-sequential trials.
