The Effects of Biofeedback on Task Performance
… study the effectiveness of biofeedback training on an individual's peak performance while performing a stress-provoking task. In a between subjects design 30 individual college students were divided into 2 groups. One group received auditory biofeedback and relaxation training, and the other …

Effects of induced mood on task performance
… people in a good mood tend to perform better on creativity or divergent thinking tasks and worse on tasks requiring systematic, analytic thinking than do people in other moods. Hypotheses regarding the processes underlying these effects can be grouped into those that propose that mood …

The Effects of Reinforcing Operant Variability on Task Acquisition
Neuringer, Deiss, and Olson (2000) was replicated and extended to determine the effect of variability contingencies on task acquisition for twelve 7-9 year old children. Subjects first learned to press a computer's shift keys with increasing response variation. Each subject was then exposed to one …

The influence of perceived task difficulty on task performance
… the influence that the perceived difficulty of a task has on task performance. Twenty-one undergraduate college students were asked to complete three anagram worksheets. Each worksheet had a different description of difficulty (easy, medium, hard), although all worksheets were of the same …

Student Teacher Knowledge and Its Impact on Task Design
… knowledge to design and modify mathematical tasks. It also examined the relationship between teacher knowledge and the cognitive demands of a task. The study relied heavily on the framework in Hill, Ball, and Shilling (2008), which describes the different domains of knowledge in mathematical …

Influences of Hemispheric Specialization and Interaction on Task Performance
… influence the degree to which dividing information processing between the cerebral hemispheres improves performance. The research in this dissertation provides evidence that dividing processing between the cerebral hemispheres improves performance when a task is computationally complex, but only …

Parietal contributions to visual working memory depend on task difficulty
The nature of parietal contributions to working memory (WM) remain poorly understood but of considerable interest. We previously reported that posterior parietal damage selectively impaired WM probed by recognition (Berryhill & Olson, 2008a). Recent studies provided support using a neuromodulatory …

The Effects of Two Types of Consequence Delivery on Task Acquisition.
The effects of two consequence delivery methods on task acquisition were evaluated within a multi-element design. A typical 3 year-old child and a 4 year-old child with autism participated in this study. The task for both children was to select a picture after the experimenter said its name. The …

Using iPads to increase on-task behavior of students with autism
… often exhibit behavior problems, of these; off-task behaviors are a concern. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of using an iPad for students with ASD to self-monitor their own behaviors. A boy and three girls with ASD participated. A single subject design with ABAB phases was …

The effects of manning level on task performance and perceived crowding
… from Virginia Tech took part in a study concerning manning levels and the perception of crowding and related experiences. A new apparatus was designed and built (an HO-gauge train set) to manipulate manning level, physical constraint (using two different control designs), and cognitive …

FOSTERING HOPE: EFFECTS OF A HOPE INTERVENTION ON TASK PERSISTENCE AND PERFORMANCE
While hope has been consistently established as a significant predictor of academic outcomes, little work has been done to address whether it is possible to increase state hope levels to improve academic behaviour and performance. In this study, we tested a short and novel hope intervention …

Investigating graphical user interface usability on task sequence and display structure dependencies
… Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) requires the consideration of task sequence requirements (sequence of operations arising from task structures and application constraints) and display structure (layout of the elements of the interface) relationships. The basic purpose was to understand the …
