Given the strong association between high and low target prevalence accuracy, using one's performance on a high prevalence search task as a proxy for their likely ability to detect low prevalence targets may be a much more economical approach.
Over time, the decline in participants' scores on the intelligence tests was strongly correlated with an increase in their inspection times, suggesting that it might be possible to use the simpler task as a proxy for more complicated intelligence tests in hard-to-reach elderly populations, the scientists report today in Current Biology.
Foraging performance was related both to self-regulation and working memory and we suggest that the foraging task may be developed further to work as a proxy for assessing cognitive development.
In addition, a WSAN leverages proxies, gateways or base stations for carrying out collection and computation tasks, as well as communication with other networks, such as the Internet.
This interpretation is further supported by moderate positive correlations between brain activity in these regions and the individual reaction time variability in standard trials which can be seen as a proxy of vigilance during the task.
This suggests that performance on the cardiac perception task is genuinely measuring interoceptive awareness and is not acting simply as a proxy for other variables such as age, IQ, and so on.
We aimed to verify whether the static phase after a single leg drop jump (DJ) landing on a force plate may serve as a proxy for a single leg stance (SLS) balance task, as this would increase the application possibilities of landing tasks in the evaluation of sensorimotor function in relation to injury rehabilitation or performance assessment.
In spontaneous networks, each node could work as a proxy; however, these networks are generated to carry out a task that is limited over the time, using services inside the network and with few traffic sent and received from Internet.
For the detection task experiments, the detection time of grasshopper images by the human predators was used as a proxy for the survival probability of grasshoppers.
