In The Epic of Gilgamesh, women play a small role.
We are introduced to Ishtar, the goddess of love, fertility, and war; Ninsun, the mother of Gilgamesh; Siduri, the goddess of wine; Aruru, the goddess of creation; the wife of Utnapishtim; and Shamhat, the temple prostitute. One can see that these six women have roles in the story, but it must be noted that none of these women are regular townspeople. When Enkidu dies, he has many mourners including a wife at the bottom of this list, but this is the only mention of her. The same goes for Gilgamesh and his wife.
Throughout the poem, women are seen as either gods, mortals with a higher status than most, or objects. Take for instance Shamhat, the temple prostitute. It is said that she can tame a wild man by her sexuality. She is told, "Now use your love-arts. Strip off your robe and lie here naked, with your legs apart. Stir up his lust when he approaches, touch him, excite him, take his breath with your kisses, show him what a woman is. The animals who knew him in the wilderness will be bewildered, and will leave him forever" (Mitchell, p. 78). But after the act is completed, she is just brushed aside and forgotten.
An example from Gilgamesh that demonstrates the point that common women were seen as objects by some can be found at the beginning of the story. "[He] takes the girl from her mother and uses her, the warrior's daughter, the young man's bride, he uses her" (Mitchell, p. 72). It should be noted that the only character to display such attitudes towards women seems to be King Gilgamesh, but nonetheless; it shows that this was an attitude or a mindset for men at this time.-

<h3>What does continuous Performance entail?</h3>
Any of several different types of neuropsychological tests that gauge someone's capacity for sustained and focused attention is known as a continuous performance task, continuous performance test, or CPT. The capacity for sustained attention—the capacity to maintain a constant concentration on some ongoing task or stimuli—is linked to impulsivity. Selective attention is the capacity to pay attention to important stimuli while ignoring unimportant stimuli. This trait is connected to distractibility.
The Integrated Visual and Auditory CPT (IVA-2) is a test of attentional variables (T.O.V.A. ), and the Conners' CPT-III are the three most often utilized CPTs. These attention assessments are frequently used as a component of a battery of assessments to determine a person's "executive functioning," or their capacity to organize and manage information.
