Crucially, we administered both one-item and three-item versions of the task.
In particular, the apprentices were able to perform the items of the anchor task (1.1) 'processing a customer order' with a range from 25.9% (item 5, Customer specific price per item) to 85.2% (item 3, Amount) correctly.
Using a dual task paradigm, this study showed that indeed women with low math self-evaluation displayed more errors and spent more time solving additions than women with high math self-evaluation, but mainly on difficult items of the dual task.
According to this hypothesis feedback signal, mainly from frontal cortex, biases the competition between relevant and irrelevant items in favour of the task relevant items [7] [9].
Cognitive tasks often involve at least two types of processes sustained processes potentially related to ongoing task demands and transient processes related to the processing of individual items within the task.
Each person was asked to record the elapsed time per item, the difficulty of the task, and the SAD documents that supported his/her responses.
In order to evaluate whether scores on the eight items of the two assessment tasks were significantly different across schools, interaction analysis between item difficulty and schools was conducted.
The items from this part of the task comprise 21 targets and 21 foils of comparable syllabic length.
The items of the QW include working tasks (mental, physical or mixed), full-time or part-time work, full or partial work disability during the last year, sick days during the last year, duration of the work disability, reasons for the incapacity for work (AS vs other health reasons) and disability leading to financial support.
By manipulating the semantic and phonological relatedness of the items while keeping the task constant, we were able to minimize the strategy and working memory confounds that are associated with task manipulation.
