Brain potentials index executive functions during random number generation.
The generation of random sequences is considered to tax different executive functions. To explore the involvement of these functions further, brain potentials were recorded in 16 healthy young adults while either engaging in random number generation (RNG) by pressing the number keys on a computer keyboard in a random sequence or in ordered number generation (ONG) necessitating key presses in th...
متن کاملBrain potentials and self-paced random number generation in humans.
Random number generation (RNG) requires executive control. A novel paradigm using the eight drum pads of an electronic drum set as an input device was used to test 15 healthy subjects who engaged in random or ordered number generation (ONG). Brain potentials time-locked to the drum-beats revealed a more negative response during RNG compared to ONG which had a left frontal distribution. Source a...
متن کاملRandom Number Generation in Patients with Aphasia: a Test of Executive Functions
Randomization performance was studied using the "Mental Dice Task" in 20 patients with aphasia (APH) and 101 elderly normal control subjects (NC). The produced sequences were compared to 100 computer-generated pseudorandom sequences with respect to 7 measures of sequential bias. The performance of APH differed significantly from NC participants, according to all but one measure, i.e. Turning Po...
متن کاملPerformance of university students on random number generation at different rates to evaluate executive functions.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of adult young subjects in a Random Number Generation (RNG) task by controlling the response speed (RS). METHOD Sixty-nine university students of both sexes took part in the experiment (25.05 +/- 6.71 year-old). Participants were alloted into 3 groups which differed in RS rates to generate numbers: 1, 2 and 4 seconds to generate each number. A digital met...
متن کاملRandom Number Generation 1
Universit e de Montr eal 2 4.1 INTRODUCTION Random numbers are the nuts and bolts of simulation. Typically, all the randomness required by the model is simulated by a random number generator whose output is assumed to be a sequence of independent and identically distributed (IID) U(0; 1) random variables (i.e., continuous random variables distributed uniformly over the interval (0; 1)). These r...
