Computer magazines of the day would print strings of code on their back pages, which could be transcribed by the reader to create a playable game, and this code-by-numbers task gave Persson his first experience of what would later become his profession.
The SOA resulted, however, on a monotonic change in the reference as SOA increased, when the number task was performed second (Figure 2E).
The 1-number task was administered to classes 3 and 4 while the 2-number task was administered to classes 5 8.
Furthermore, they performed equally well on the number task [ t(27) = 0.24, p =.81].
We also investigated additional contrasts using the fifth condition, number task, as a baseline for the narrative conditions.
However, in this experiment we asked subjects to complete the same different task right after indicating their answer on the number task.
The "Give me a number" task score was determined by the maximum number of toys children could select correctly according to the instruction.
Finally, the main task was the same as in Experiment 2. The subjects needed to do the number task on the basis of the direction of motion in the cued diagonal and to complete the same different task right after indicating their answer on the number task.
No other test (letter-number sequencing task, number-span task, matrix reasoning task, Stroop task, and Flanker task) showed a significant change.
The students were given basic number tasks at the end of each day.
