Basic objectives2 - Efficacy
Intervention:
Interventions/Control_1 - Stroop task group
Participants perform one 15-min Stroop task on Day 1. They are instructed to respond according to the ink color of the presented color word rather than its semantic meaning. After the Stroop task, participants rest for 30 s and then perform 100 trials of a visuomotor adaptation task with a 75-degree visual rotation. The intervention is administered once on a single day.
Interventions/Control_2 - Control task group
Participants perform one 15-min control task on Day 1. They are instructed to respond according to the color of a neutral stimulus (XXXX). After the control task, participants rest for 30 s and then perform 100 trials of a visuomotor adaptation task with a 75-degree visual rotation. The intervention is administered once on a single day.
