The main results of the reviewed studies will be briefly summarized first, followed by an evaluation of specific consequences on activation patterns of critical factors concerning conditioning paradigms, measures of conditioning success, stimuli, and their timing.
Several paradigms measure reward-seeking behavior in rodents, but each has limitations.
Here, the attentional sequential performance of control and dyslexic participants was evaluated using rapid serial presentation paradigms measuring individual stream segregation thresholds in the two modalities.
Five papers used paradigms measuring the ability to delay gratification (see Table 8).
In this study we included facial expression discrimination paradigms measuring emotion recognition accuracy employing presentation of schematic or photographed facial expressions depicting neutral, emotional or ambiguous expressions.
Several paradigms measure cognitive processing biases.
With respect to cognitive testing, numerous maze and operant techniques and paradigms measuring different aspects of performance, learning, and memory have been elaborated.
To measure color saturation and contrast sensitivity, we employed a paradigm which measures the ability to discriminate test stimuli that differ in saturation/contrast level [ 24, 25].
