Mental stress reduces performances, on the work place and in daily life, and is one of the first causes of cognitive dysfunctions, cardiovascular disorders and depression.
These patterns are thought to reflect a cost of local adaptation: adaptation to one host plant entails reduced performance on another host.
In a study of youths with a bipolar parent, reduced performance on "standing heel-to-toe" and "standing on one foot with eyes open", was interpreted as cerebellar ataxia [ 43].
Workers with a chronic, low level exposure to sulfuryl fluoride showed non-significantly reduced performance on all applied neurobehavioural tests compared to the control group in one study [ 190].
In regression modeling, one of the most critical problem is over-fitting of a model which results into poor generalization and reduced performance on unseen data.
This paper adopts the Goal-Based Choice Model to predict conditions under which task interruption will: (1) exacerbate accountants' motivated reasoning, introducing bias into their professional judgments, and (2) reduce performance on the interrupting task.
In addition, IR morphine reduced performance on a complex tracking task (Reitan's trails B; P=0.03) whilst enhancing it on a simpler tracking task (Reitan's trails A; P=0.03).
External distractors such as ringing cell phones and irrelevant speech have consistently been shown to reduce performance on comprehension tests for material learned in the presence of the distractors (e.g., Banbury & Berry, 1998; Shelton et al., 2009; Sörqvist et al. 2010; Zeamer & Fox Tree, 2013).
Only the 17-year-olds showed a significant susceptibility to interference by task B, as expected, i.e., reduced performance on task A at 24 hours post-training relative to the end of the session, in Experiment 2 (interference) compared to Experiment 1 (no interference).
