Hostile-Diabetic Men: An Examination of Peripheral Glucose and QEEG Magnitudes Subsequent to Lateralized Fluency-Stressors
Using the Limited Capacity Model of hostility (Walters & Harrison, 2006; Williamson & Harrison, 2005; Williamson, Harrison, & Walters, 2007) as a guide, the stress response of individuals with a variable and dysregulated fuel supply to their brain (diabetes) was examined subsequent to lateralized …

Updating of representations in working memory
The limited capacity of working memory forces people to update its contents continuously. Two aspects of the updating process were investigated in the present experimental series. The first series concerned the question if it is possible to update several representations in parallel. Similar …

The processing of grammatical structures via written input: L2 reading and the input-to-intake phenomenon
… has shown that second language learners have a limited capacity for processing the input to which they are exposed. This is reflected at all stages of the language-learning process, not only at the level of the input-to-intake process, but also in the intake-to-acquisition and acquisition-to-use …

Rational inattention in control of Markov chains
This thesis poses a general model for optimal control subject to information constraint, motivated in part by recent work on information-constrained decision-making by economic agents. In the average-cost optimal control framework, the general model introduced in this paper reduces to a variant of …
