Similar to studies demonstrating that frontal EEG coherence during tasks appears to be associated with improved cognitive functioning and creativity [ 81, 82], increased QMT-induced frontal connectivity is related to enhanced ideational flexibility [ 65].
However, all comparative efforts depend on first finding evidence for shared abilities on tasks thought to be associated with language-related processes in humans and second, testing nonhuman animals using neurobiological techniques commonly used in humans.
If performance on this more difficult non-spatial task were to be associated with a decline in performance in control participants, then it would be likely that the decrement observed in Experiment 2 in neglect patients was primarily due to the increased cognitive resources demanded by a spatial task.
Thus, semantic and phonological tasks are likely to be associated with differential executive processes that are not required for reading and naming per se.
In addition, shared responsibility for diabetes management tasks is shown to be associated with better psychological health, self-care behavior and metabolic control [ 51– 51].
Possibly, this is the case because verbalizing requires associating words with one's own emotions whereas for this task words had to be associated with external images of facial expressions.
In addition, an increase in administrative tasks has been shown to be associated with increasing time pressure and low job satisfaction [ 4].
Alternatively, reduced activity in left inferior frontal gyrus and under-connectivity observed during language tasks has been proposed to be associated with language specific deficits that could result from upstream impairments in perceptual or linguistic processing of speech stimuli (Muller, 2007; Groen et al., 2008; Overy, 2009).
In terms of EF, whether children successfully completed the extra-dimensional shift stage of the CANTAB IED task was not found to be associated with SCQ score.
By contrast, the increased requirement of energy in achieving a task goal is found to be associated with bodily controlled movement [ 30].
