The task parameters also conformed to those of conventional semantic priming studies (Neely, 1991).
For each subject, the optimal target switch latency was defined as the switch latency that maximized the EG given the subject's CV and the task parameters.
But the changes on task parameters have to be done always maintaining feasibility.
The Expected Gain (EG) function estimates, a priori, the gains associated with all possible switch latencies given the subjects' endogenous timing uncertainty and other relevant task parameters such as the payoffs and probabilities.
Differences in the sensitivity of the task parameters as well as the tools used to manipulate 5-HT2CR function (genetic vs pharmacological) most likely underlie the discrepancies between the present study and previous work (Robinson et al, 2008).
The choice behavior of the Investors was drawn from an actual Trust Game dataset previously collected with the same task parameters (multiplier always ×413), but the randomly selected trial was only financially consequential for the participant.
In terms of spatial coupling our results indicated weak coupling of the grasp component regardless of task parameters (i.e., congruent or incongruent movements) and a dependence on task parameters in determining the level of spatial coupling for the transport component.
Task parameters, including fastener target torque and joint properties (soft, medium or hard), were ascertained from the vehicle design specifications.
These findings overall suggest the importance of carefully considering individual factors and task parameters in designing jobs requiring repetitive torso efforts.
Automatic item generation (AIG) is an effective way of constructing many items with predictable difficulties, based on a set of predefined task parameters.
Manipulations of the task parameters within a session, to either increase or decrease explicit demands on sustained attention, were not associated with fluctuations in ACh efflux.
