Computing Tools for the Psychological Study of Choice Behavior
… and were designed to aid in the study of choice behaviors, such as self-control and impulsivity, across age ranges. Impulsivity can be defined as the choice of a smaller, less delayed reward over a larger, more delayed reward, with self-control as the opposite. These two concepts are often …

Stated Preference Study of Long-Haul Commercial Vehicle Route Choice Behavior
… impacts. Research on commercial vehicle route choice is needed to inform planners in developing strategies that balance mobility and sustainability. Potential factors developed from an exhaustive literature review are incorporated into a stated preference survey on routing decisions. The …

Mode and Departure Time Choice Behavior of Non-Work Related Trips
… number of studies that investigate travel behavior related to these trips. This study investigates non-work-related travel behavior in two parts. The first part examines mode choice behavior, while the second part analyzes departure time choice. A Random Regret-Minimization (RRM) approach …

The Effect of Continuous – and Partial Reinforcement on the Choice Behavior of Rats
The research presented in this paper is primarily concerned with the difficulties imposed on the Hull-Spence learning theory by the effects of partial reinforcement on response acquisition.

Regulation of choice behavior : an experiment investigating the hypothesis that people bundle sequences of expected rewards
… enables decision makers to self-regulate their choice behavior. Most empirical work on intertemporal choice has focused on analyzing impulsive choice. Less effort has been dedicated to explanations of how individuals manage to overcome self-defeating behavior. This thesis evaluates the theory of …

Influence of Incentive on Strategies of Human choice Behavior in a Four Alternative Transfer of Learning Probability Task
… Forty-eight human Ss were presented with a four choice probability learning-task. Two groups of 24 Ss each were placed under different incentives - Equitable Wage (EW) and Gambling Wage (GW). It was anticipated that a transfer of learning effect would be present. Also, it was anticipated that the …

Incorporating Perceptions, Learning Trends, Latent Classes, and Personality Traits in the Modeling of Driver Heterogeneity in Route Choice Behavior
Driver heterogeneity in travel behavior has repeatedly been cited in the literature as a limitation that needs to be addressed. In this work, driver heterogeneity is addressed from four different perspectives. First, driver heterogeneity is addressed by models of driver perceptions of travel …

Framing mediator decisions through the development of expectations: A range-frequency explanation
… judgment, and prospect theory, a theory of choice behavior under risk, is proposed. A critical assumption of prospect theory is that the reference point, which guides the riskiness of choice behavior, is modeled after Helson's (1964) adaptation level notion. It is proposed that …

The effects of counterfactual comparison on learning and reasoning
How humans make choices in uncertain and competitive situations is a key determinant of viability and successful living. Improving those choices requires sometimes encountering undesirable outcomes and avoiding them, eventually even anticipating them in novel situations. Learning depends on making …

Behavioral and Neurochemical Characterization of the Effects of the Novel Adenosine Antogonist MSX-4
… (NAc), are known to regulate such effort-related choice behavior processes. For instance, DA-R antagonists as well as NAc DA depletion can decrease choice behavior. Moreover, previous studies have shown that systemic administration of adenosine A<sub>2A</sub> antagonists reverses the behavioral …

Further Examination of the Matching Law and Sports: A Description of Shot Selection in Professional Hockey
Over the past decade researchers in behavior analysis and sports have begun to consider the role of the matching law in describing choice behavior and sports. To date choice behavior in baseball, basketball, and football has been examined. Hockey presents a situation in which reinforcement occurs …
