In a Kausian way, his note forces us to consider: On what basis should we judge particular elements of the stimulus allocations?
Whether the stimulus allocations were shaped by his priorities or by Congress, I don't know, but they are remarkable in their exclusive emphasis on the non-combat aspects of soldiering life — with a little solar power thrown in to make everyone feel modern.
That is, differences in RT between threat cue and neutral cue trials may result from two separate effects: (i) a slowing effect of threat cues on motor responses, which may reflect a temporary inhibition of ongoing activity, and (ii) an effect of threat stimuli on allocation of visuospatial attention.
We interpret these findings as reflecting interrelated neural processes associated with visual attention, attention control and allocation, stimulus processing, response selection, execution and timing, all of which are critical during driving.
More recently, under the 2009 economic stimulus package's allocation for "green jobs," the USDA has entertained proposals for funds to support training for gardening work in urban neighborhoods.
These results suggest that, on these measures, motivational incentives have similar effects in children with ADHD as typically developing CTRLs and have additive effects with stimulant medication, enhancing stimulus salience and allocation of attentional resources during response inhibition.
Blood Pb concentrations at time of testing were associated with higher rates of false alarms during the task and with reduced amplitude of the P3 wave elicited by go and no-go stimuli, suggesting reduced allocation of cognitive resources for task processing.
The current findings suggest that physical fitness, but not an acute bout of aerobic exercise enhances cognitive processing by increasing attentional allocation to stimulus encoding during task preparation.
The reports just described indicate that the amygdala encodes information about space and reward and that neural activity is correlated with spatial attention allocation to stimuli associated with reward.
Several factors are converging to slow China's growth, including debt overhang from its credit-fueled stimulus program, industrial overcapacity, inefficient allocation of capital by state-owned banks, and the slow recovery of China's trading partners.
