When elite and recreational athletes were compared, it seemed that the pattern of the age-related performance decline was very similar for both groups [ 12].
This creates the pattern of all the performances of the suggested approach (AMSSDR).
To assess the validity of the model, we determined the pattern of behavioral performance it predicted in relation to errors to criterion and the WSLS analysis.
In accordance with Caselli's group [ 18, 58] we noted that while the definition of aMCI emphasizes a memory profile resembling mild AD with reduction in delayed recall, this was not the pattern of memory performance that best characterized the difference between ε4 carriers and non-carriers in the present group.
Despite this issue, the ISA appears to have worked well, in that it shows coherent gradients across users during the simulation run, and that the pattern of performance differs in the 'high workload' and 'low workload' runs.
These findings parallel previous results for early bilinguals, where the pattern of performance was consistent with the processing hierarchy proposed by different models of speech perception.
Since after each group idea exchange session there was an enhancement in the number of ideas generated in the alone session, the pattern of performance in the hybrid condition supported the cognitive perspective of group creativity (Nijstad & Stroebe, 2006; Paulus & Brown, 2007).
Without negating the importance of the universality assumption for the development of cognitive neuroscience, or the importance of single-case studies, here we aim at stressing the potential dangers of interpreting the pattern of performance of single patients as conclusive evidence concerning the architecture of the intact neurocognitive system.
In contrast, TMS over the left PPC does not change the pattern of performance.
The fact that our subjects performed abnormally in the setting of different kinds of basal ganglia lesions provides evidence that the pattern of performance is not specific to the pathologic process but to lesion location.
