Outcomes

Brain activation

no changein humans1

1 study

  1. Semantic task demand has no effect on brain activation in humans.

    “As for brain activation, we did not find the expected age group by task demand interaction, or a significant main effect of task demand.”

    Human trialOverall analysis; no expected age group by task demand interactionbrainLow versus high task demand

Semantic judgment performance

1 study

  1. Semantic task demand impairs semantic judgment performance in humans.

    “error rates, RTs and perceived difficulty increased with increasing task demands in both age groups.”
