Focus on variability: New tools to study intra-individual variability in developmental data
In accordance with dynamic systems theory, we assume that variability is an important developmental phenomenon. However, the standard methodological toolkit of the developmental psychologist offers few instruments for the study of variability. In this article we will present several new methods that are especially useful for visualizing and describing intra-individual variability in individual ...
متن کاملIntra- and inter-individual biological variability data bank.
Different results are usually observed when a quantity is measured in different specimens from the same individual obtained over a time span. For an individual, this variation is due to the imprecision of the measurement procedure, that is to say the metrological variability, as well as to the rhythmic and random fluctuations of the quantity value around a virtual homeostatic set point, that is...
متن کاملInter- and intra-individual variability in alpha peak frequency
Converging electrophysiological evidence suggests that the alpha rhythm plays an important and active role in cognitive processing. Here, we systematically studied variability in posterior alpha peak frequency both between and within subjects. We recorded brain activity using MEG in 51 healthy human subjects under three experimental conditions - rest, passive visual stimulation and an N-back wo...
متن کاملResponse preparation and intra-individual reaction time variability in schizophrenia
Background. It is important to prepare response in advance to increase the efficiency of its execution. The process of response preparation is usually studied using the precueing paradigm. In this paradigm subjects have to employ the preceding information about further imperative stimulus to perform proper response preparation, which shortens the reaction time of subsequent response execution. ...
متن کاملIntra-Individual Variability of Surface Electromyography in Front Crawl Swimming
The variability of electromyographic (EMG) recordings between and within participants is a complex problem, rarely studied in swimming. The importance of signal normalization has long been recognized, but the method used might influence variability. The aims of this study were to: (i) assess the intra-individual variability of the EMG signal in highly skilled front crawl swimmers, (ii) determin...
