To achieve this, object and spatial representations mutually inhibit one another, such that activity in the spatial-dorsal pathway is inhibited when only object information is task-relevant, and activity in the object-ventral pathway is inhibited when only spatial information is task-relevant.
The above model can explain why a reversed DE appears when numerical information is task-irrelevant, provided that the physical size difference between the digits is the same in the case of both large and small numerical distance.
A part of this conceptual knowledge is the phonological specification of the object's possible names (see Meyer, Belke, Telling, & Humphreys, 2007, for an example of how phonological information is activated even during a visual search task for which such information is task-irrelevant).
Second, we aimed to extend earlier findings by examining whether the speed of magnitude processing is similar in children and adults both when numerical information is task-relevant (numerical comparison task of the Stroop paradigm) and when it is task-irrelevant (physical comparison task of the Stroop paradigm).
This was the case both when numerical information was task-relevant and when it was task-irrelevant.
When both object and spatial information are task-relevant (i.e., during a conjunction-task trial), mutual inhibition results in lower activity in color- and angle-preferred regions during conjunction-task trials compared to single-task trials because there is no dominating bias to either task region.
Participants performed tasks in two separate contexts ('Alphabet' and 'Spatial') that alternated between SO phases (where on-screen information was task-relevant) and SI phases (where participants were required to perform the same task 'in their head', in the absence of task-relevant visual stimuli).
The early emergence of EEG DEs in all age groups in both the numerical and physical comparison tasks suggests that a refined representation of number was accessed with a similar speed in both adults and children, both when numerical information was task-relevant and when it was task-irrelevant [ 18].
Pursuing information is a task at which she is experienced.
Because task information is managed in the task context server, it pushes new task information to the user's client automatically.
Supra-optimal levels of hippocampal activity seem to occur when task-irrelevant information is added to task-relevant signal.
