Comparing the neural distance effect derived from the non-symbolic comparison and the same-different task.

Abstract:

:As a result of the representation of numerosities, more accurate and faster discrimination between two numerosities is observed when the distance between them increases. In previous studies, the comparison and same-different task were most frequently used to investigate this distance effect. Recently, it was questioned whether the non-symbolic distance effects derived from these tasks originate at the same level. In the current study, we examined the behavioral and neural distance effects of the comparison and same-different task to assess potential differences between both tasks. Participants were first year university students. Each participant completed both tasks, while their reaction time, accuracy and brain activity on predefined components was measured. The early N1-P2p transition and the P2p component on temporo-occipital (TO) and inferior parietal (IP) electrode groups were considered, as well as the late P3 component on a central (C) electrode group. The results showed that the behavioral distance effects from both tasks were comparable, although participants' performance was worse on the same-different task. The neural results revealed similar effects of distance on the mean amplitudes for the early components for both tasks (all p's < 0.02) and an additional effect of task difficulty on the mean amplitudes of these components. Similar as in previous studies, we found a (marginally) significant increase in mean amplitude of the later P3 component with increasing distance for the comparison (p = 0.07), but not for the same-different task. Apparently, the initial stages of number processing are comparable for both tasks, but an additional later stage is only present for the comparison task. The P3 effect would be indicative of this decisional stage, which was previously proposed to underlie the comparison distance effect (CDE).
