Participants were presented with a task wherein the relationship between their actions and the subsequent outcomes was ambiguous.
Mental rotation involves mental spatial transformations of objects around axes of rotation, such as seen in the classic mental rotation task wherein participants compare two three-dimensional objects and imagine rotating one object to match or mismatch a reference object (Shepard & Metzler, 1971).
Training occurred through exposure to and use of the AMR in the performance of two tasks: (1) a judgment task wherein the participants were instructed to make a forced-choice (correct – incorrect) response by pressing one of two buttons: (2) a production task wherein the participants were instructed to produce (voice) the transformed verb in accordance with the AMR.
Healthy participants (N = 13) performed a copy-spelling task wherein they had to count target intensifications.
To address this issue, we used a version of the Stroop task wherein a baseline task was presented to the participants first (the first page).
This was best observed in the novel object detection task, wherein the CGG KI mice displayed no deficits whatsoever, whereas the Fmr1 KO mice showed a rather profound inability to perform the task.
An infrared-based Vicon motion tracking system (http://www.vicon.com/) was employed to record kinematics while participants completed a movement execution task wherein they conducted simple horizontal sinusoidal (back and forth) right arm movements.
To confirm the CEs measured using PEST method, we used a choice task wherein the choice options did not depend on animal's previous choice (i.e., incentive compatible).
Protein docking can be divided into two different tasks: filtering, wherein a large number of possible configurations is scanned and a small fraction is retained; and scoring, wherein each of the retained candidate models is examined in more detail so they can be ranked and, hopefully, the correct models identified [ 5].
Primary eye care can also be considered as a form of task shifting, wherein not one specific task but several activities are shifted to the primary care level, away from specialist cadres such as ophthalmic clinical officers and nurses.
