2015
The Open-field Tower Maze (OFTM) is a maze created to study the behavioral and neural mechanisms of spatial learning (e.g., place- or response-learning) in rats. This maze is especially useful for experimenters who want to use a non-stressful maze paradigm to investigate spatial learning in their research.

We present a technique to achieve low-velocity to intermediate-velocity collisions between fragile dust aggregates in the laboratory. For this purpose, two vacuum drop-tower setups have been developed that allow collision velocities between <0.01 and ~10 m/sec. The collision events are recorded by high-speed imaging.

Executive Function in Autism Spectrum Disorder
0 Views •
2023
Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California Attention, working-memory, planning, impulse control, inhibition, and mental flexibility are important components of human cognition that are often referred to as executive functions. Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disorder that is characterized by impairments in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. It is a disorder that lasts a lifetime, and is thought to affect...

A Novel RFP Reporter to Aid in the Visualization of the Eye Imaginal Disc in Drosophila

We describe a novel red fluorescent protein (RFP) reporter that is expressed specifically in the Drosophila eye. We detail a methodology for dissection of the eye imaginal disc and how this reporter can be used to aid in the dissection and identification of specific cell types in the developing eye.
FAQs
The move limit adds an efficiency constraint to the problem. A person must not only reach the target arrangement but also organize actions so the solution fits within the permitted number of moves. This requirement makes planning and sequencing especially important, because impulsive or poorly ordered actions can increase move counts and lead to rule violations.
Successful performance draws on several related executive processes. Working memory supports holding the target arrangement and planned actions in mind, while response inhibition helps prevent unsuitable moves. Planning determines the sequence needed to reach the goal, and problem-solving helps the individual adjust when the arrangement or available moves makes the initial strategy ineffective.
These measures describe different aspects of performance and should not be treated as interchangeable. Accuracy indicates whether the target arrangement was achieved, completion time reflects how efficiently the person worked, and rule violations show difficulty following task constraints. Considering them together gives a broader picture of planning and executive performance than any single measure alone.
The person is presented with colored balls arranged on pegs and a separate target configuration. They rearrange the balls by moving them under the task’s stated rules, attempting to reproduce the target within a limited number of moves. The evaluator records outcomes such as whether the arrangement is solved, how long completion takes, and whether rules are broken.
Psychologists use the task when they need to examine planning and related executive abilities. It can contribute to studies of cognitive development, frontal-lobe functioning, and changes associated with neurological or psychiatric conditions. Because performance includes accuracy, timing, and rule adherence, the task can help characterize differences in goal-directed problem-solving across individuals or groups.
Performance provides a behavioral measure of abilities associated with organizing and controlling goal-directed actions. In psychology, researchers examine how planning, sequencing, working memory, inhibition, and problem-solving appear during the task when studying frontal-lobe functioning. The results do not consist only of a final score; accuracy, completion time, and rule violations help describe the observed executive pattern.
