The Diffusion Decision Model: Theory and Data for Two-Choice Decision Tasks
, 2008
"... The diffusion decision model allows detailed explanations of behavior in two-choice discrimination tasks. In this article, the model is reviewed to show how it translates behavioral data—accuracy, mean response times, and response time distributions—into components of cognitive processing. Three exp ..."

Behavioral theories and the neurophysiology of reward,
- Annu. Rev. Psychol.
, 2006
"... ■ Abstract The functions of rewards are based primarily on their effects on behavior and are less directly governed by the physics and chemistry of input events as in sensory systems. Therefore, the investigation of neural mechanisms underlying reward functions requires behavioral theories that can ..."

for the whole journey. The common denominator in these tasks appears to relate to the anticipation of outcomes of behavior in situations with varying degrees of uncertainty: the merely automatic salivation of a dog without much alternative, the choice of sophisticated but partly unknown liquids, or the well
Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

, students were asked to complete the questionnaire described above in class. The questionnaire was administered by a trained experimenter according to standardized instructions. The experimenter explained that the purpose of the questionnaire was to learn about the feelings and behaviors of high school
The psychometric function: II. Bootstrap-based confidence intervals and sampling, Perception and Psychophysics 63
, 2001
"... The psychometric function relates an observer’s performance to an independent variable, usually a physical quantity of an experimental stimulus. Even if a model is successfully fit to the data and its goodness of fit is acceptable, experimenters require an estimate of the variability of the paramete ..."

of sampling scheme (the placement of sample points on the stimulus axis) strongly affects the reliability of bootstrap confidence intervals, and we make recommendations on how to sample the psychometric function efficiently. Fourth, we show that, under certain circumstances, the (arbitrary) choice
2004), How do behavioral assumptions affect structural inference: Evidence from the laboratory
- Journal of Business and Economic Statistics
"... Abstract: We use a laboratory experiment to investigate the effect that assuming rational expectations has on structural inference in a dynamic discrete choice decision problem. Our experimental design induces preferences up to each subject’s subjective rates of time preference, leaving unrestricted ..."

We analyze the data under the assumption that all subjects use the rational expectations decision rule, and also under weaker behavioral assumptions that allow for heterogeneity in the way people form decisions
Interference as a Tool for Designing and Evaluating Multi-Robot Controllers
- In Proceedings, AAAI-97
, 1997
"... Designing and implementing cooperative group behaviors for robots is considered something of a black art involving an extensive amount of reprogramming and parameter adjustment. What seems to be lacking is a pragmatic, practical, general-purpose tool that would both guide the design and structure th ..."

As an experimental example, we demonstrate three different implementations of a collection clean-up (foraging) task using four
Behavior Customization . . . Application Programming
, 2005
"... Components are usually provided as program building blocks with a fixed parallel structure that can be customized for a particular grid application by providing data and code parameters. We propose behavior customization of components, which changes components' parallel structure and behavior ..."

Motivational Processing and Choice Behavior During Television Viewing: An Integrative Dynamic Approach.”
- Journal of Communication
, 2011
"... This study was designed to further our understanding of the central role of motivational activation in mediated information processing and media choice. To do this, a dynamic model was developed to formalize the dynamic effects of three basic motivational input variables (arousing content, positivi ..."

An Experimental Study of Electoral Incentives and Institutional Choice

In theory, asymmetric information and outcome unobservability undermine electoral delegation by creating incentives for politicians to pander. Under the rig ..."

Choice of reconstructed tissue properties affects interpretation of lung EIT images

There is significant interest in EIT as a tool to monitor and guide ventilation therapy in mechanically ventilated patients. I ..."
Abstract

in simulation and experimental data that EIT images reconstructed with the same algorithm but with different parametrisations lead to large and clinically significant differences in the resulting images, which persist even after attempts to eliminate the impact of the parameter choice by recovering volume
