The subjects who misunderstood the rules for the psychological measures, tended to fall asleep during the psychological tests, or could not participate in the psychological experiments as planned were excluded from the relevant analyses (which means, for example, if a subject misunderstood the rule of one task, then that subject was excluded from the analysis involving that task).
Converging evidence for this area of dysfunction was provided by the higher percentage of premature responses committed by the High-Pb rats in the final block of trials of attention task 1, a point at which the basic rules of the task had already been learned.
These task-specific action rules relate the decision rules of a task to the mode in which these rules need to be applied (e.g., if smaller than 5, press the left key covertly).
The rules of the task were simple.
RM thus stores the general rules of a task.
After finishing Task 1 (35 as dividend), she summarized the underlying rule of solving the tasks: The key is comparing the divisor and the number in the tens place of the dividend.
For the comparison of similar tasks, other than the different colour of border surrounding the task item, the only difference is the internal representation of task rule.
Neuroactivation and connectivity analyses used comparisons to neutral scenarios to control for activations related to reading and comprehension, context processing, issue salience, task attentional and sensorimotor demands, and the maintenance of task rules.
In contrast, a shift between categories likely required reference back to a broader set of task rules, including the remembered list of color rule combinations.
Such reward-related information would be crucial to the formulation of a declarative or explicit representation of task rules in reinforcement learning experiments.
