OBJECTIVE Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), defined by two abnormal glucose values on a 3-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), is associated with insulin resistance and a low serum concentration of adiponectin. The metabolic implications of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) of pregnancy (i.e., a single abnormal value on an OGTT), however, are not well established. We sought to evaluate the m...

The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) is a laboratory-based gambling paradigm which involves a conflict between immediate gain and delayed loss. In original IGT, the bad decks with lower expected values are associated with higher magnitude of reward and punishment, and the good decks with higher expected value are associated with lower magnitude of reward and punishment. Normal participants usually chos...

OBJECTIVE To 1). document the change in glucose tolerance for subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) over time, 2). identify baseline factors associated with worsening of glucose tolerance, and 3). determine whether cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors associated with IGT improved in tandem with glucose tolerance. RESEARCH DESIGN Subjects with I...

The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) simulates uncertain gains and losses in real life situations and thus is a good measure of uncertain decision-making. The role of working memory (WM) in IGT performance still remains unclear. The present study aimed to examine the effect of WM on IGT performance. Three groups of participants matched on gender ratio were randomly assigned to no WM load, low WM load, ...

This study aimed to develop a Japanese version of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) using Psychology Experiment Building Language based on English version. Additionally, we tested equivalence these versions biological test. We randomly assigned 63 undergraduate and graduate students from several universities our parallel design experiment. evaluated by determining differences between logs number car...
