A continuous performance task, continuous performance test, or CPT, is any of several kinds of neuropsychological test that measures a person's sustained and selective attention. Sustained attention is the ability to maintain a consistent focus on some continuous activity or stimuli , and is associated with impulsivity .
[8] Whatever the cause of the performance differences between the n-back and other assessments of working memory, some researchers stress the need for further exploration of the construct validity of the n-back task. [7] Performance on the n-back task seems to be more closely correlated with performance on measures of fluid intelligence than it ...
For example, subjects whose task performance is well correlated for a successive task may exhibit a poor performance correlation for a simultaneous task. Conversely, subjects performing similar monitoring tasks, such as radar versus sonar target detection, can be expected to exhibit similar patterns of task performance.
Normative studies frequently provide data stratified by age, level of education, and/or ethnicity, where such factors have been shown by research to affect performance on a particular test. This allows for a person's performance to be compared to a suitable control group, and thus provide a fair assessment of their current cognitive function.
Task Structure, referring to the extent to which group tasks are clear and structured. Leader Position Power, referring to the power inherent in the leader's position itself. When there is a good leader-member relation, a highly structured task, and high leader position power, the situation is considered a "favorable situation."
The counterpart of contextual performance is task performance. Task performance is defined as the work activities that contribute to an organization's technical capacity. [1] Contextual performance is more likely to be voluntary, whereas task performance is more likely to be prescribed by the job description.
PERT network chart for a seven-month project with five milestones (10 through 50) and six activities (A through F).. The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) is a statistical tool used in project management, which was designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project.
An example of a negative transfer is if it takes longer for a typist to adjust to a randomly assigned letter of the keyboard compared to a new typist. Retention: the performance level of a particular skill after a period of no use. [18] The type of task can have an effect on how well the motor skill is retained after a period of non-use:
