BACKGROUND Although postural recovery is attentionally demanding in healthy elderly persons, an inability to recover balance due to competition for attentional resources between the postural system and a second task could contribute to falls in older adults with poor balance. This study examined the attentional demands of balance recovery from a mild postural disturbance in balance-impaired eld...

Scheduling is one of the key technologies used in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms. determines whether a task can be completed and when complete. The distributed method fast way to realize swarm scheduling. It has no central node UAVs freely join or leave it, thus making it more robust flexible. However, two most representative methods, Consensus-Based Bundle Algorithm (CBBA) Performance Im...

Our ability to detect patterns and observe regularities is a fundamental part of reasoning and learning. Various theoretical accounts conceptualize induction in different ways. In the current study, we used the balance-scale task and mouse-tracking techniques as a means to explore the cognitive dynamics that underlie inductive pattern recognition. Although we did not replicate an expected inter...

Introduction The balance scale task has become a benchmark task in cognitive developmental psychology. Development on the balance scale task is characterized as a progression through a series of increasingly complex rules (Rule I, II, III, IV). Children using Rule IV understand the multiplicative relation between the two task features, weight and distance information of blocks placed at both si...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the impact of a sensory-motor- cognitive task on postural balance, in Parkinson disease patients (Hoehn and Yahr 2-3) and to investigate possible relationships between posturography and functional balance clinical scales. METHOD Parkinson disease patients (n = 40) and healthy controls (n = 27) were evaluated with fluency tests, Berg Balance scale, Mini Best test and sta...
