Sentence examples for spared performance from inspiring English sources

However, a recent study demonstrated spared performance on an acoustic startle response test of speech discrimination following AC lesions (Floody et al., 2010).

It should also be noted that this spared performance was found despite the anterior thalamic lesions being almost complete.

The combination of these non-spatial strategies led to spared performance early in acquisition, consistent with the variable results obtained in previous studies.

Consistent with this impairment in discriminating different spatial locations, the same lesions also severely disrupted object-in-place memory but spared performance on standard tests of object recognition memory (Experiment 2).

To test whether the spared performance on the go/no-go spatial discrimination found in Experiment 5 (Room C) was reliable, the second cohort of rats was tested on a spatial discrimination in Room B. The locations matched those used in Experiment 4, where the Hpc1 rats were impaired on a spatial biconditional task.

Finally, in another probabilistic learning task associated with the striatal dopamine system [ 7], midazolam led to spared performance and only caused deficits in the very first few trials of the task [ 19], when the hippocampus is usually most active in such tasks [ 20], consistent with other accounts on the role of the hippocampus in the early acquisition of probabilistic learning [ 21].

Furthermore, there is substantial evidence suggesting that damage to the PFC impairs performance on tests of source memory (Shimamura and Squire 1987; Janowsky et al. 1989; Kopelman et al. 1997; Duarte et al. 2005; Swick et al. 2006) and, in some cases, may spare performance for subjective measures of recollection (Duarte et al. 2005; Ciaramelli and Ghetti 2007).

This indicates less aerobic capacity and might be a reason for the riders consciously spared their performance.

Overall, the ablation specifically abolished turning characteristics, namely large tail deflections and prolonged undulations, but spared the performance of symmetric tail undulations.

We have also previously observed the simultaneous coexistence of impaired SWM with spared SRM performance in genetically modified mice with a global deletion of the GluR-A subunit of the AMPA receptor (Reisel et al., 2002), including studies which used the very same radial maze task (Schmitt et al., 2003, 2005).

Mr. Depp's sorrowful countenance is the still point at the center of this film's swirling hyperactivity, and his witty, spare performance gives the picture a poignancy that Mr. Demme's hectic direction and the hurried script by David McKenna and Nick Cassavetes don't quite earn.
