This design also allowed a comparison of lower versus higher intelligent individuals when working on the same tasks (i.e. sample-based medium task difficulty).
The neural efficiency hypothesis describes the phenomenon that brighter individuals show lower brain activation than less bright individuals when working on the same cognitive tasks.
When working on these tasks, students have the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the essential concepts and standards in the unit.
When working on a task or reading, good lighting should be provided throughout the room.
Even if you think you're a conscientious, hardworking type, you may still be prone to social loafing, the tendency for people to put in less effort when working on a task with a group than they would do if alone.
Although neural efficiency has been shown repeatedly when working on verbal tasks in the female brain (Neubauer et al., 2002, 2005), we observed no relationship between intelligence and white matter microstructure for females.
Our results regarding performance feedback suggest that the provision of individual performance feedback does not exacerbate participants' preferences for relative-performance-based pay when working on an easy task or exacerbate participants' preferences for fixed pay when working on a difficult task.
Specifically, when working on an easy task, participants' compensation plan choices were similar between the no feedback and relative feedback conditions, but participants working on a difficult task were more likely to choose relative-performance-based pay in the relative feedback condition than in the no feedback condition.
Research done at the University of California in Santa Barbara indicates that allowing the mind to wander can help people perform better when working on creative tasks.
"Creative people are much happier when working on creative tasks rather than repetitive, mundane work".
Researchers can set up an SOL and refine the parameters when working on probe design tasks for other species.
