Anodal tDCS and High-Frequency tRNS Targeting the Occipitotemporal Cortex Do Not Always Enhance Face Perception
2019
Frontiers in Neuroscience
We failed to replicate previous findings of enhanced performance on face and object perception, nor extend findings to facial expression perception. ...
In Experiment 1, using a single blind, between-subjects design in healthy volunteers (N = 53), we examined whether anodal tDCS over the occipitotemporal cortex enhanced performance on tasks involving perception ...
The importance of replication in the field has been illustrated by emerging concerns regarding the replicability of tDCS effects, as indicated by a growing number of failures to replicate positive effects ...

The (non-)replicability of regulatory resource depletion: A field report employing non-invasive brain stimulation
2017
PLoS ONE
Although evidence is ambiguous, behavioural studies have repeatedly suggested that control-demanding tasks seem to deplete a limited cache of self-regulatory resources leading to performance degradations ...

PLoS ONE
This block of observation and replication was repeated 5 times. ...
This suggested that during observational learning of sequential hand postures MEP changed with the progress of the learning. To evaluate this idea, we performed two additional experiments. ...
For the number of participants who correctly replicated the OK sign during the replication task, Cochran's test was performed. Data were expressed as the mean 6 one standard error. ...

Implementing Enhanced ICPCP Algorithm with Task Replication in Public Cloud
2016
International Journal of Computer Applications
The deadline of the project can be meeting by provisioning more virtual machines that required. The algorithm Enhanced ICPCP uses the concept partial critical path which is defined in the ICPCP. ...
One of the characteristic of cloud is elasticity in which resources can be dynamically increases or decreases as per user requirement. ...
As a future work, capabilities of Enhanced ICPCP algorithm with Task Replication can be increase by replicating task in multiple clouds. [7] Rodrigo N. ...

Effects of d-amphetamine in human models of information processing and inhibitory control
2005
Drug and Alcohol Dependence
The findings highlight the complex nature of stimulant effects on human behavior and the utility of performance tasks as models of complex behavioral and cognitive functions. ...
Information processing was measured by a rapid information processing (RIP) task and inhibitory control was measured using a stop-signal task. ...

Probing the causal involvement of dlPFC in directed forgetting using rTMS—A replication study
2020
PLoS ONE
In this study, we attempted to solidify evidence for such a causal role of the dlPFC in directed forgetting by replicating an existing rTMS study (Hanslmayr S, 2012) in a preregistered within-participant ...
The forgetting of previously remembered information has, for a long time, been explained by purely passive processes. ...

The task was easy and one pilot decreased slightly in average performance on the replication trials, while the other pilots increased in per- formance probably due to learning effects. ...
Visual integration of direction and orientation information in autistic children
2017
Autism & Developmental Language Impairments
In contrast to this view, we recently demonstrated enhanced integration of visual motion signals in autistic children compared to typically developing children. ...
The equivalent noise tasks consisted of two interleaved conditions: a high-noise condition in which children judged the average direction or orientation of elements whose range of direction or orientations ...

Fitness effects of group merging in a social insect
2003
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences
We confirm one prediction of the task-efficiency explanation by demonstrating a genetic basis for task thresholds of socially important behaviours in eastern tent caterpillars. ...
By contrast, increased group size, a less commonly considered correlate of group mixing, was found to enhance individual fitness through its effects on larval growth. ...

A Brief Evaluation of a Pictorially Enhanced Self-Instruction Packet on Participant Fidelity across Multiple ABA Procedures
2018
Behavior Analysis in Practice
Eight of the participants received a standard packet followed by an enhanced packet; six received them in reverse order. Each sequence was replicated within participants across the two tasks. ...
Results showed that participants achieved near-mastery levels of performance under the enhanced packet condition. ...

Group differences in suppression skill
1997
Aging, Neuropsychology and Cognition
Many of these experiments have been replicated with other groups, which also hypothetically differ in their ability to suppress inappropriate information. Two new sets of experiments are reviewed. ...
In the other, the prediction that less skilled comprehenders-because they are less skilled at suppression-are better able to shift to a different meaning of a homonym is evaluated. ...
Half the participants of each skill level completed a block of 40 trials performing one task first, and then a block of 40 trials performing the other task, and we counterbalanced the order of the two ...
