On the Locus of Speed-Accuracy Trade-Off in Reaction Time: Inferences From the Lateralized Readiness Potential.

Lateralized readiness potentials (LRPs) were used to determine the stage(s) of reaction time (RT) responsible for speed-accuracy trade-offs (SATs). Speeded decisions based on several types of information were examined in 3 experiments, involving, respectively, a line discrimination task, lexical decisions, and an Erikson flanker task. Three levels of SAT were obtained in each experiment by adjusting response deadlines with an adaptive tracking algorithm. Speed stress affected the duration of RT stages both before and after the start of the LRP in all experiments. The latter effect cannot be explained by guessing strategies, by variations in response force, or as an indirect consequence of the pre-LRP effect. Contrary to most models, it suggests that SAT can occur at a late postdecisional stage. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Self-regulation and extended now: Controlling the self alters the subjective experience of time.

These studies investigated self-regulation and subjective experience of time from the perspective of the regulatory resource model. Studies 1-2 showed that participants who were instructed to regulate their emotions while viewing a film clip perceived that the film lasted longer than participants who did not regulate their emotions. In Study 3, participants provided time estimates during a resource-depleting or nondepleting task. Subsequent task persistence was measured. Time perceptions mediated the effect of initial self-regulation on subsequent self-regulated performance. In Study 4, participants performed either a resource-depleting or a nondepleting thought-listing task and then performed a different regulatory task. Compared with nondepleted participants, depleted participants persisted less on the 2nd task but estimated that they had persisted longer. Subjective time estimates statistically accounted for reduced persistence after depletion. Together, results indicate people believe that self-regulatory endeavors last overly long, a belief that may result in abandonment of further self-control.

Short cue presentations encourage advance task preparation: A recipe to diminish the residual switch cost.

In the task-switching literature, it has frequently been demonstrated that although advance task preparation reduces the switch cost, it never really eliminates the switch cost. This remaining residual switch cost received much attention, and it has been argued that advance preparation is restricted in nature. In the present study, the role of task-cue presentation in the establishment of the residual switch cost was investigated. In 4 experiments, the cue was removed during the preparation interval, and it was hypothesized that this would encourage participants to complete advance task preparation. The results of all 4 experiments provided support for this hypothesis: When the cue was presented for a short time and then removed, the residual switch cost completely disappeared. This was found for different cue types. Furthermore, Experiment 3 demonstrated that it was not the presence of the cue itself but merely differences in advance task preparation that caused the effects. This suggests that advance task preparation is not as restricted in nature as previously assumed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Attentional task aptitude and performance anxiety.

Anxious responding (trait, state, and test anxiety) has a negative impact on overt performance. Researchers have used a unidimensional method of assessing anxiety and performance, although a more informative approach would involve a comprehensive assessment battery and multiple performance tasks. Incorporating this strategy, the authors measured the impact of anxiety on 4 attentional processing tasks. Results revealed that "types" of anxiety symptoms were differentially related to attentional task performance; test anxiety accounted for the most variance in predicting performance on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Third Edition (D. Wechsler, 1997) letter-number sequencing and digit-span subtests, trait anxiety and fear of negative evaluation were more significant in predicting Stroop performance, and math anxiety accounted for the largest variance toward understanding Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (C. W. Lejuez, C. W. Kahler, & R. A. Brown, 2003) scores. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

一种面向车辆实时数据并行处理的任务调度算法

车辆实时监管正面临着不断增长的大规模车辆监测数据的实时处理需求,需要采用分布式的并行计算架构来提升大规模车辆监测数据处理的性能,支撑多样化的车辆监测数据处理任务,应对支撑环境的伸缩性需求。在这种架构下,对系统中不同计算节点间的车辆监测数据处理任务的调度提出了更高的要求。针对这一要求,并结合流式到达及历史积累的车辆监测数据的持续化处理需求以及大规模车辆监测数据实时处理中内存敏感的特征,提出一种基于路由表的并行任务调度算法。该算法基于车辆监测数据时空属性以及各计算节点的内存信息建立路由表,并以路由表的形式来进行任务的并行划分和分配调度,从而使得各计算节点达到负载均衡的状态。实验表明该算法能够使计算节点间的负载差异缩小到12%以内。此外,该算法在某市车辆监管实时系统中的实际应用也证明了其有效性。     

SCHEDULING PARALLEL PROGRAM TASKS WITH NON-NEGLIGIBLE INTERTASK COMMUNICATIONS ON TO NUMA MULTIPROCESSOR SYSTEMS

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of scheduling parallel tasks onto non-uniform memory access (NUMA) shared-memory multiprocessor systems by considering non-negligible intertask communications and communication contentions. Communication contentions arise from the communication medium having insufficient capacity to serve all transmissions, thereby causing significant contention delays. Therefore, a new scheduling algorithm, herein referred to as the Extended Critical Path (ECP) algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm schedules parallel tasks by considering non-negligible intertask communications and the contentions among shared communication resources. Moreover, it ensures performance within a factor of two of the optimum for general directed acyclic task graphs (DATGs). Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the ECP algorithm over the scheduling algorithms presented in previous literature.
