Several physiological indices indicative of plant water status were analyzed during the trial, including, stem water potential, stomatal conductance, canopy temperature, trunk diameter variations, leaf area index (LAI).
Frequently, subsequent responses exhibited an increase in WS-related activity (indicative of post-error trials) and a smaller evaluative activity in response to reward delivery.
Mean reaction times were calculated for each of the conditions, over the initial 25 trials, indicative of acquisition, and across the final 50 trials, indicative of asymptotic learning.
Repeated measures ANOVA revealed no significant difference in the mean RT's between the 2 conditions (DLPFC rTMS vs. sham) over the first 25 trials, indicative of acquisition rate, or the final 50 trials, indicative of asymptotic performance.
Critically, the ASD group showed the same pattern of results, demonstrating significantly faster RTs (t(17) = 4.851, p < 0.001) on congruent trials than on incongruent trials, indicative of robust orienting to the protoface.
Since the epidemiologic association data for the earlier drugs may be less indicative of causality than randomized trial results, it is unfortunate that the FDA web site did not report clinical trial data for the benzodiazepines popular in the 1980's, such as temazepam, flurazepam, and triazolam.
Mean reaction times were calculated for each of the conditions over the initial 25 trials, indicative of the acquisition phase, and across the final 50 trials, indicative of asymptotic learning.
An omission error was tallied when a rat entered the testing alcove but failed to respond within 15 sec of trial onset, indicative of missing the cue.
Data were analyzed so as to quantify the number of trials required for the participants to emit responses indicative of learning in the four test trials, performed with each of the new stimulus pairs.
The ultimate performance level, following presentation of a sufficient number of trials, is indicative of how well these cue outcome associations are acquired.
