Second, when the task requires information from both external representations and working memory, it is the interaction of information from the two sources that determines the task difficulty.
The experimental results show that when the task requires information from both external representations and working memory, it is the interaction of information from the two sources that determines task performance.
When the task requires a method outside the professional's area of expertise, he or she may recommend other consultants or educational programs.
"When the task requires more attention and more executive functioning, then a slight distraction starts to cause a deficit," one of the study's authors, Bill Thornton, told the Huffington Post.
Second, it converges with findings on single-target processing showing an increase in the amplitude of this neural response when the task requires that the relevant item is kept separated from the distracter elements, such as when the relevant item needs to be localized or identified, as opposed to when the task simply requires to detect its presence [28], [30].
These data show that during the reversal-learning trial, when the task requires behavioral flexibility, D36 mice have a significant learning deficit compared with WT and more interestingly, the KO mice.
While a first lateralized response at posterior electrode sites (N2pc, 180 300 ms; [22], [23]) is always elicited whenever a relevant object is presented in the visual field, a second sustained lateralized activity (Contralateral Delayed Activity, CDA, 350 600 ms; [24]; also called SPCN [19]) occurs only when the task requires the relevant object to be encoded in greater detail.
However, if such a bilateral advantage is a general feature of selective attention, as previous findings seem to suggest [12] [15], we may predict a bilateral field advantage in visual enumeration only when the task requires a certain amount of attentional resources.
Decoupling of attention from visual and auditory perceptions, however, interferes with the task at hand, especially when the task requires continuous stimulus monitoring and sustained attention.
For example, future studies could investigate whether right pars opercularis and right STG activations increase for nonexpert sounds when the task requires a motor response (e.g., an auditory repetition task).
