These results indicate that for a more novel, effortful presentation of the task, there is both decreased behavioural performance and reduced fractal scaling.
The subjective evaluation of the supplied mental effort confirms the insensitivity of the cognitive load in the mode of presentation of the task.
The induction of varying expectancy, between high and low expectancy conditions, was based largely on presentation of the task as a simple executive function (memory of small sequences).
A 63 element binary m-sequence consisting of 32 positive and 31 negative bits was used to control the timing of the presentation of the task stimuli [13].
Information about the pursuit physiologic eye movement test was also given: presentation of the task, of the viseo-oculography apparatus, and of the purpose of the test - understanding the neuro-physiology of pursuit eye movement control in humans.
During the test, the examiner recorded manually the total execution time (precision 1 s) and also the preparation time, i.e., the time elapsed between the presentation of the task and the first move.
The presentation of the task in the scanner was split into four blocks.
The following protocol was used for each group: 1. Presentation of the task An overview of the study and the focus group technique was explained to students.
To do this, we introduced a variable delay of 2 10 s between the setting up of the rule and the presentation of the task items.
Thus, it is likely that the ability of children to understand medically related probabilistic information will be influenced by a number of factors, including the presentation of the task.
