The assumption that all AI is about systems designed to autonomously learn new tasks, adapt to changing environments and perhaps, like HAL, outwit their creators in the end, skims over the many important differences between classic AI (the one movies are made of) and its over one dozen subdisciplines.
To ensure specificity of OT effects to imitative behaviour, participants additionally performed a Stroop colour-word interference task (adapted to optimize similarities with the imitation inhibition task) to rule out general effects on cognitive control.
This standardized procedure consists of a 3-min preparation period, followed by a 5-min speech task and a 5-min mental arithmetic task adapted to the age and performance of the child.
Furthermore, the OFC's role as a detector and predictor of potential content has been suggested to be domain independent, since OFC activation has also been observed for coherence judgments in a WGCT-like task adapted to the auditory domain (Volz, Rübsamen, & von Cramon, 2008).
Whoever ends up owning Barnes & Noble faces a tough task: adapt to the Brave New World, or be consigned to the History section.
The 10-word list-learning task was adapted to be culturally appropriate.
Again, the task was adapted to have equal numbers of no change, orthographic shift, phonological shift, and both shift items.
To prevent cognitive overload, task difficulty and support of each newly selected learning task can be adapted to the learner's competence level and perceived task load, either by some external agent, the learner herself, or both.
Unsurprisingly, this behavioral task has been adapted to mice using various response modalities (T-maze, lever press, nose-poke).
