AbstractSystem and method for enhancing cognition using continuous performance with multiple stimulus streams. A target correspondence is presented. A continuous sequence of stimulus groups is presented one stimulus group at a time, where each stimulus group includes at least two stimuli, and where each stimulus group is presented for a specified duration, and separated by a specified inter-stimulus-interval (ISI). For each stimulus group in the sequence: the subject is required to respond to the group, indicating when all the stimuli in the group correspond in accordance with the target correspondence, and refraining from indicating when the stimuli do not correspond, correctness/incorrectness of the response is determined, and the duration and/or the ISI adjusted accordingly, using an adaptive procedure, e.g., a continuous performance maximum likelihood procedure. The presenting the target correspondence, presenting the sequence of stimulus groups, and the requiring/determining/adjusting for each group, are iterated to improve cognition of the subject. Show

in responsiveness due to repeated presentations of the same stimulus. Habituation is commonly used as a tool to demonstrate the cognitive abilities of infants and young children.
What is the name given to decreased responsiveness to a stimulus after repeated presentations of the stimulus quizlet?Habituation: is the name given to decreased responsiveness to a stimulus; A kid playing with a toy and becomes accustomed to the toy and loses interest after repeated presentations of the stimulus.
Which of the following perceptions involves integrating information from two or more senses like vision and hearing?This is intermodal perception, which involves integrating informa- tion from two or more sensory modalities, such as vision and hearing (Gergely & others, 2019).
Is a reaction that occurs when information in the form of a stimulus interacts with sensory receptors?This process is called sensory transduction. This occurs when a stimulus is detected by a receptor which generates a graded potential in a sensory neuron.
