An auditory motor visual control fMRI task was performed to exclude non-specific changes in BOLD signal between groups.
Above all, the performance in the control test which involved no magnitude processing did not correlate to any task, which seems to exclude the possibility that factors not related to magnitude processing might explain our results.
The most important task of semen tests is to exclude semen of inferior quality, and this had already been done in the laboratories which had exported the semen.
As a result, we chose to exclude the LI task from our factor analysis.
This is equivalent to excluding the tasks that lead to large value of DL LMCS t y i when being paired with y i because they are unlikely to be well correlated with y i.
For example, Kluger and DeNisi (1996) review the effectiveness of vocational interventions designed to inform recipients about ways to improve their performance on tasks, but exclude feedback related to interpersonal issues.
It means that most parts of the image belong to the useless background, which should be excluded from the processing task to improve work efficiency.
Our task differs in that we can dissociate reward-independent learning that arises within a classical reward learning task and exclude common PE explanations.
In addition, this experiment allowed us to perform an independent replication of the results of Experiment 1 (with familiar visual objects) while testing the generalization of our effects to a task that excluded any overt motor response during scanning (i.e., no button press response required).
To avoid modeling of data unrelated to the motor task, we excluded 2 of the originally included 13 patients and 1 of 13 control subjects, because they failed to show activation in the predefined area.
