A narrative method for consciousness research.

abstract：:When engaged in a repetitive task our performance fluctuates from trial-to-trial. In particular, inter-trial reaction time variability has been the subject of considerable research. It has been claimed to be a strong biomarker of attention deficits, increases with frontal dysfunction, and predicts age-related cognitiv...

Thus, conceptually, an N-back task and a complex span task share more commonalities as compared to a simple span task. In the curr...
