Language is probably the most complex cognitive task we undertake.
These cases pose the possibility that function may not follow structure in some cognitive tasks.
However, this is good evidence that very different cognitive tasks may interfere with each other, thanks to limitations of specific areas in the brain.
The second is g, a general factor that governs performance on all cognitive tasks.
A central focus was the search for cognitive tasks which could be used in animals and humans.
"Usually when they go into this experimental setup they are asked to do a cognitive task," he said.
This may affect performance on virtually any cognitive task.
There does not seem to be a single type of cognitive task that is consistently altered in the different studies.
These 15 studies tested overlearning effects on physical and cognitive tasks.
Prototype theory has been used to explain human performance on many different cognitive tasks and in a large variety of domains.
