In Schooler's work on insight and attention, he uses rote, automated tasks to induce the best mind-wandering state in his subjects.
For half of the landscapes, the third segment was presented between encoding and recognition tasks to induce associative interference by reducing recognition discriminability.
Patients (n = 9) and controls (n = 11) completed a finger tapping task, a simple auditory monitoring task and a challenging working memory task, designed to induce mental fatigue, while undergoing fMRI.
In addition, recent studies have found highly localized clusters of DA activation in the cortex in response to a reward-learning task [van Eimeren et al., 2013] and a mathematical task designed to induce stress [Lataster et al., 2014; Vrieze et al., 2013].
While he was foreign minister in the Social Democratic Radical government of Thorvald Stauning (1929 42), Munch's most difficult task was to induce Adolf Hitler to recognize the 1920 border between Denmark and Germany, traversing the ethnically mixed area of Schleswig.
After having watched the video, N = 101 healthy participants were randomly assigned to a guided thinking task designed to induce (a) rumination, (b) memory integration and (c) distraction.
PTP and PPE were recorded before, during, and after five adult male and five adult female speakers engaged in a prolonged oral reading task designed to induce vocal fatigue.
Specifically, we used a speeded perceptual categorization task designed to induce a time-dependent accumulation of sensory evidence through rapidly updating dynamic stimuli and found that disruption of the left DLPFC with low-frequency rTMS reduced accuracy and increased response times relative to a sham condition.
The researchers asked participants to complete several questionnaires assessing their affect/mood, self-esteem and arousal levels after performing a task designed to induce mild stress.
Once in southern Germany, the Allies' task was to induce Max Emanuel, the Elector of Bavaria, to abandon his allegiance to Louis XIV and rejoin the Grand Alliance; but to force the issue, the Allies first needed to secure a fortified bridgehead and magazine on the Danube, through which their supplies could cross to the south of the river into the heart of the Elector's lands.
