Body size, skeletal biomechanics and habitual behaviour: a bioarchaeological approach to social and economic change in the Neolithic and Copper Age central Mediterranean
… bone skeletal biomechanics, as reflective of habitual behaviour. This research uses metric data derived from 3D models of humeri, femora and tibiae in 17 human skeletal assemblages from across the central Mediterranean and features comparative analysis with a large sample of individuals …

Ontogeny and functional adaptation of trabecular bone in the human foot
… Before trabecular structure can be used to infer habitual behaviour, the effects of these factors need to be understood and ideally statistically accounted for. Therefore, the effects of variation in bone size and shape, body mass, age, and sex on human trabecular structure are examined in four …

Serotonergic modulation of cognition
… systems, namely goal-directed and habitual behaviour. Goal-directed behaviour is characterized by the consideration of future choices and respective outcomes whereas habitual responding is driven by stimulus-response associations. Response inhibition is essential for goal-directed …

Advancing transport modelling for health applications
… the health impacts of policies targeting travel behaviour. For example, health impact assessments estimate the health effects of behavioural shifts, usually with a focus on active travel. Existing methods are typically spatiotemporally aggregate and cannot offer insight into the mechanisms of …

Investigating the Validity of an Implicit Measurement Procedure for Habit: An Example Using Hand Washing
… mental associations between contextual cues and behavioural responses are theorized to give rise to behaviours that are largely spontaneous and resistant to the influence of deliberative cognitive processes. Commonly used self-reports of habitual behaviour do not assess context-behaviour …

An investigation and evaluation into the 'usibility' of human-computer interfaces using a typical CAD system
… survey of end-user attitudes; (2) collecting behavioural performance measures from students learning to use the software. (3) cognitive and affective data obtained from laboratory experimentation using experienced users of the CAD package. A theoretical approach to evaluation leads to the …

Digital forensic system profiling using context analysis
… to determine if there are patterns of repetitive behaviour present at the times of interest. This research project investigates the habitual use of a digital device by analysing the Internet history that can be recovered from the physical digital device, or from logs that are retained as the …

Tissue-specific behavioural signatures in cortical and trabecular bone. Variations in long bone structure in medieval Britain, and the differential effects of age.
… have been considered to present a signature of habitual behaviour during life. Despite a wide appreciation of divergences between the tissues in loading modality and structural configuration, this approach presumes a good agreement between such behavioural signatures in either tissue. Because …

The role of frontal-striatal circuits in instrumental behaviour
Behaviour can be goal-directed, when performing an action to obtain a specific goal, and it can be habitual, whereby a stimulus in the environment can trigger a response regardless of the outcome. Behavioural output can be a mixture of goal-directed and habitual aspects and there may be a …

An Investigation into Textual Characteristics of the Early Greek Majuscule Pandects
… habits”, but rather than referring to the habitual behaviour of the scribe of the manuscript under investigation, “textual characteristics” refers to all the ways in which the manuscript differs from the initial text, both those introduced by its own scribe and by the scribes of all its …

Electroencephalographic and Cognitive Underpinnings of Inhibitory Control in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: From Actions to Thoughts
… thoughts and actions, cognitive flexibility, and habitual behaviour. Four experiments addressed hypotheses that, in comparison with appropriate control groups: (i) Patients with OCD are impaired in their ability to control actions as measured by the Stop-Signal/Go No-Go task; (ii) They also …

Travel behaviour dynamics: a mobility biography study towards change
… Most TDM measures focus on effecting travel behaviour change amongst commuters. Clearly such measures are likely to have the greatest impact when targeted at commuters most receptive to changing their travel behaviour at the right time. The study of commuters in order to understand their …
