Sentence examples for manipulations of task from inspiring English sources

Fixation durations and saccade lengths can be very sensitive to manipulations of comprehension in reading at both local and global levels (Rayner, 1998), what is currently being fixated in scenes (Henderson & Pierce ,2008; Henderson & Smith, 2009), and manipulations of task in dynamic scenes (Smith & Mital, 2013).

Our goal in this study was to determine whether manipulations of task (Experiment 1) and stimulus salience (Experiment 2) would have differential influences on N2pc and Ptc amplitudes.

A further question motivating this study was to what extent are there individual differences in the rostro-caudal spread of activation for different manipulations of task difficulty?

Three different manipulations of task uncertainty – reward omission, response-requirement uncertainty and active-lever location uncertainty – each resulted in increased observing behaviour, possibly as a result of reduced ability to discriminate active from inactive levers, when no external signals guided lever choice, and under conditions of increased uncertainty.

The challenges of a parkour learning environment can be (re) designed by manipulation of task, environment and organismic (personal) constraints.

Analysis was as in Experiment 1, but was adapted to account for the within-participant manipulation of task load.

As the perceptual input of the grey dots and red dot task is identical, any differences found between the two tasks must be attributed to the manipulation of task instructions.

Furthermore, an overall increase in activation within both hemispheres under higher task demands was evident only in the visual areas and area IPTO, indicating a successful manipulation of task difficulty on a neural level [29].

Group differences in sustained task-set maintenance and transient task-set updating were also found to be dependent on experimental manipulation of task preparation processes.
