In the present study we were not able to obtain behavioural performance measures due to technical difficulties, but future studies capitalizing on this technique should explore this possibility (e.g., via simultaneous EMG and fMRI recordings).
Facilitative effects of colour on behavioural performance were recently confirmed in children [8] and illiterate adults [9], although it is often necessary to use presentation at threshold levels (i.e., masked brief images) in order to obtain behavioural effects of colour in normal adults.
To address the clients lack of interest, motivational interviewing was added to the training programme, making the HHC worker capable of informing the client of the importance of the health benefits that can be obtained by behavioural change and motivating the client to adjust his behaviour.
By asking the participants to close their eyes and point to where they had sensed the touch we obtained a behavioural index of the illusion.
In this third study, we obtained a behavioural measure of the ability to construct online syntactic and semantic representations of spoken language.
Consistent with the data obtained from behavioural testing, the effects of piperine on the PTZ-induced seizure threshold suggest the involvement of more than just one receptor/target in vivo.
To be able to relate patients' impairments directly to their performance in the functional MRI study and to their structural magnetic resonance analyses, as well as to confirm that these impairments were specifically syntactic in nature, we obtained complementary behavioural data from three different tests of syntactic function conducted outside the scanner.
We used video surveillance to obtain detailed behavioural observations of individually identifiable animals.
We successfully applied the coiling test developed by Steiner et al. [ 45] to obtain courtship behavioural data for a large number of parasitoid wasp species to reconstruct the evolution of this trait.
Based on the results obtained from the behavioural survey, the agent behaviour parameters which define driver characteristics, knowledge and preferences were identified and their values determined.
