Pace yourself: Neural activation and connectivity changes over time vary by task type and pacing
2019, Brain and CognitionCitation Excerpt :Some studies exploring TOT effects in self-paced paradigms have in fact recognized this possibility. For example, an older model for predicting response times on a self-paced task (specifically, a symbol cancellation paradigm) explicitly accounts for switches between “processing time” and “distraction time” to predict the relative negative influences of overload and underload on performance (Van Breukelen et al., 1995). Self-paced tasks are thought to require a continual, effortful process of self-regulation (Steinborn et al., 2010), putatively resulting in a greater accumulation of fatigue than in work-paced paradigms.
Electrophysiological and information processing variability predicts memory decrements associated with normal age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD)
2006, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Therefore, Brinley plots that combine reaction time means across groups without regard to the task, the specific experimental manipulation, or to individual differences, may be less sensitive in the identification of task-, process-, or domain-specific effects of aging (Fisk et al., 1992; Fisk and Fisher, 1994; Mayr and Kliegl, 1993; Sliwinski et al., 1994). Other researchers have highlighted the more complex relationships between response distributions, task parameters and individual differences (Balota and Spieler, 1999, Logan, 1992; Van Breukelen, 1995). Without further application of more advanced experimental and statistical techniques, it would be hasty to conclude that RT SD is less important than RT mean, particularly given that there are theoretical reasons for assuming that RT SD may be more sensitive to the effects of aging than mean RT.
