AbstractThere has been an increasing interest in multi-task learning for video understanding recent years. In this work, we propose a generalized notion of by incorporating both auxiliary tasks that the model should perform well on and adversarial not on. We employ Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) as data-driven approach deciding what category these fall in. Our novel proposed framework, Adve...

The present study investigated whether developmental changes in cognitive control may underlie improvements of time-based prospective memory. Five-, 7-, 9-, and 11-year-olds (N = 166) completed a driving simulation task (ongoing task) in which they had to refuel their vehicle at specific points in time (PM task). The availability of cognitive control resources was experimentally manipulated by ...

the purpose of this study was to study the matching of the competitiveness trait and kind of training condition when learning a sport skill (basketball free throw). 60 male university students (age 21.76±1.5 years) participated in this study and were divided into two homogeneous groups based on their pretest scores. as a result, four training groups were used in this study. sport orientation qu...

We report a study that investigated the neuroanatomical correlates of executive functions in dual-task performance with functional magnetic resonance imaging. Participants performed an auditory and a visual three-choice reaction task either separately as single tasks or concurrently as dual tasks. In the dual-task condition, two stimuli were presented in rapid succession to ensure interference ...

Abstract Media multitasking has been investigated for its links to executive functions (EFs). Research in the area produced mixed outcomes which may part be due an extreme groups approach data analysis. This study avoided this issue by using media as a continuous variable examine relationship with EFs of working memory (WM) and inhibition. Participants completed tasks assessing WM (Digit Orderi...

Previous research using punctuate reaction time and counting tasks has found that the startle eyeblink reflex is sensitive to attentional demands. The present experiment explored whether startle eyeblink is also modulated during a complex continuous task and is sensitive to different levels of mental workload. Participants (N = 14) performed a visual horizontal tracking task either alone (singl...

This paper presents an experimental test of two contemporary motivation theories in the physical domain. The study combined experimentally-induced achievement goal involvement with autonomous and controlling communication styles based on self determination theory to examine young people’s enjoyment, free-choice behavior and performance in relation to a golf task. Results showed that those in th...

Prospective memory is the act of remembering to perform an action in the future, often after the presentation of a cue. However, processes involved in remembering the future intention might hinder performance on activities leading up to and surrounding the event in which an intention must be carried out. The current study was designed to assess whether young children who were asked to engage in...
