Attentional or cognitive impairments have also been observed in rodent models of nicotine withdrawal. These include impaired performance of a test of sustained attention (Shoaib and Bizarro 2005), disrupted contextual fear conditioning (Davis and Gould 2007 Davis et al. 2005), disrupted operant behaviors (Vann et al. 2006), and decreased prepulse inhibition, a test of selective attention (Semenova et al. 2003).

Patients with schizophrenia perform poorly on tasks requiring cognitive control and contextual information processing (Stroop, AX-CPT, go/no-go). In the typical AX-CPT task (Rosvold et al., 1956), participants are shown a series of letters, presented one at a time. The letter X is designated as a target, but only when it is immediately preceded by a valid cue (letter A ) X preceded by an invalid cue (a letter other than A BX trials), and other letters preceded by A (AY trials) or any other letter (BY trials) are... 

Process integration in PRIME is based on the integration of the contextual description of the design process steps with descriptions of the tools responsible to perform these steps. A tool model is constructed in a tool modeling formalism describing its capabilities (i.e. services provided) and GUI elements (menu items, tool bars, pop-up menus etc.). Process and tool metamodels are integrated within the so-called environment metamodel (Fig. 3.3). The interpretation of environment models enables the tools to adapt their behavior to the applicable process definitions for the current process state. Thus, the user is able to better understand and control the process execution. 

A major performance concern is the determination of candidate attributes for contextual attribute correspondences. The approach above is based on context identification using categorical attributes. Clearly, with more categorical attributes, an exhaustive search of all categorical values becomes more expensive. However, even with a small set of categorical values, the attribute candidates for correspondences depends on the number of attributes in the target database.
