Eight of the 11 studies showed that physical load did not influence athletes' accuracy in general tasks, which reflects prior research in general experimental setups where participants' reaction times improved while accuracy failed to change under physical exercise (e.g., [4]).
The present investigation applied pitch identification, pitch contour perception, and pitch discrimination tasks which reflected different auditory skills and neurophysiologic processes [ 10, 11, 17].
Time-on-task, which reflects how much time students spend on a learning task, correlates positively with learning (Taraban and Rynearson 1998).
In the present study, Alzheimer's patients showed significant deficits on the aspects of the CDR System Picture Recognition task which reflected pattern completion (correctly identifying original pictures), as well as the part which reflected pattern separation (correctly identifying the closely similar pictures).
E.g., if a person was on average 10 ms slower to respond on trials with angry than neutral cues on the central cue task (which reflects a 10 ms slowing effect of threat on RT, independent of location-based spatial cueing effects), this value was subtracted from their mean RT from trials with angry face cues in each condition (valid and invalid) of the spatial cueing task.
A common strategy is to use task measures which reflect developmental stages [ 6].
With these studies in mind, a number of different writing task options are considered, which reflect possible pedagogical choices, apart from typical process writing.
Throughout adolescence and into adulthood, there are ongoing changes in working memory circuitry which reflect neural maturation and further specialization toward task-specific processing (Luna et al. 2010).
These effects which reflect underlying properties of visual search are typical for search tasks with high target prevalence.
