Compared with control subjects, those exposed to imagery training, including those who switched between imagery and the complex task, exhibited shorter reading times in the mirror-reading task.
As hypothesized, the OFC, in the context of the emotional face discrimination task, exhibited a down-regulatory effect on amygdala activation.
Consistent with this notion, we also found that frequencies at and above the gamma band measured during a speed discrimination task exhibit an effect known as "choice probability," which reveals a particularly close relationship between neural activity and behavioral choices.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite comparable behavioral performance, at-risk participants performing a verbal working memory task exhibited altered brain activation compared with healthy subjects.
Within the high casual pressure group, subjects who chose difficult for the mental arithmetic task exhibited greater increases in systolic pressure and heart rate during that task than subjects who chose easy.
In contrast, the individuals that performed poorly on the cognitive task exhibited moderate levels of variability across all brain regions.
In our studies, rats performing the reward versus avoidance of punishment task exhibited a negative judgement bias under baseline conditions (Anderson et al., 2013; Figure 2).
Geurts and colleagues [ 10] reported that individuals with ADHD, who performed an interference control task, exhibited a significantly higher level of accuracy in a social reward situation (competing against fake peers) compared to a neutral condition, while normal controls showed no improvement.
The possibility that processing in neocortical language sites alone had generated unconscious relational memories in these well performing patients can be excluded because all amnesic patients, also those that failed on the relational task, exhibited normal cognitive functions and normal semantic priming for single words that require neocortical language sites.
This phenomenon has been echoed at a behavioural level in humans, with performance on multisensory tasks exhibiting similar spatial [22] and temporal [1] response gradients.
