As an example of workers preferences in task, consider the case where, after feeling bored several times when executing high-time-consuming tasks, workers always choose to execute only low-time-consuming tasks.
We failed to reveal significant differences in manual preferences between tasks of potentially differing complexity: reaching a stable food item and catching live insects, as well as between the body support and food manipulation.
These results highlight the influence of time preference in TTO tasks, especially when the addition of lead or lag-time increases the considered time horizon.
All regions, occipital and extra-occipital, used in analyses were defined on the basis of data from the polar angle version of the delayed saccade task, and comprised voxels that showed above threshold contralateral preference in that task (with the exception of IPS1&2, see below).
The second prediction is that the presence of a secondary task should affect only participants' sensitivity to the decks' payoffs, and not their preferences in terms of frequency.
Across cells, target preferences in the 2 tasks were only modestly correlated.
What are the performance benefits of selectively relaxing the locality preferences of some tasks in parallel applications?
To eliminate this ambiguity (and study this potential effect), and following the method by Cohen and Pauker [ 22], we will randomize clinicians to instructions that ask them to participate and complete the preference elicitation tasks in the role of a patient or as a clinician making a recommendation to a patient.
Hand preference was determined throughout the study with the "Edinburgh Handedness Inventory" (EHI) [17] which classifies handedness on the basis of a short interview on hand preference in the performance of routine practical tasks.
Hand preference was determined with the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (Oldfield 1971) which classies handedness on the basis of a short interview on hand preference in the performance of routine practical tasks.
