Effects of Risk and Ambiguity on Behavioral Choice and Resource Allocation Decisions
… has separate effects on judgments and choices. Decision theorists typically focus on binary choice alternatives. However, many decision problems involve determining optimal allocations of resources across continuously distributed competing demands. Scholars of organizational behavior …

Neural Activity Within and Between Visual and Executive Areas Is Modulated Post-Locomotion in Rhesus Macaques
… gap in knowledge through analysis of how both behavioral performance and neuronal activity signatures in visual and executive brain regions are modulated post-locomotion in rhesus macaques.</p> <p>To this end, we performed high-yield electrophysiological recordings simultaneously from area V4, …

Optogenetic Interrogation of Primary Visual Cortex and Its Impact On Neural Coding and Behavior
… has been implicated as a major source of behavioral choice related activity in the cortex, and theorized to be a major factor limiting information in cortical populations. However, until now, there has not been a way to manipulate correlations without altering firing rates or other task …

Job Satisfaction and Adaptation
… Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall) as the model of behavioral choice. Eight adaptive behaviors were studied, including attempts to obtain jobs in other organizations or job transfers, talking to supervisors, husbands, and coworkers, and avoidance behaviors. Results indicate that employees' …

Empathy Unfolding: A Complexity Neuroeducation Framework for Tracing the Impact of Immersive Storytelling and Transformational Learning on Nursing Education
… Index (IRI) subscales for empathic concern, a behavioral choice to assess post-immersion empathetic concern, and focus groups to assess reflective and critical consciousness as measures of transformational learning. Results: The results indicated that immersive story interventions, regardless …

Sensorimotor transformation and information coding across cortex during perceptual decisions
… regions, with V1 encoding stimulus, fMC encoding choice, and PPC multiplexing the two variables. Optogenetic inhibition during behavior showed that all regions were necessary during the stimulus epoch, but only fMC was required during the delay and response epochs. Stimulus information was …

The Efficacy of a Maintenance-Oriented Weight Management Program in an Obese Population
… to one of three treatment conditions: 1] Behavioral Choice Treatment (BCT) with a theory-based maintenance-oriented program, moderate calorie goals, and the New Healthy Pyramid for nutrition recommendations; 2] a traditional exercise and nutrition education program (USDA) using the current …

A neuronal switch for approach/avoidance in cost-benefit decision
… network that mediates turns, toggling the turn choice from avoidance to orienting. Consequently, electrophysiological recordings from the isolated central nervous system of animals demonstrated the conservation of donor appetitive state. As animal’s appetitive state (readiness to feed) was …

Understanding neural mechanisms of strategic learning: correlates, causality, and applications
… distinguish different learning models based on behavioral choice data alone (Salmon 2001; Wilcox 2006). Here I sought to investigate learning mechanism from an alternative perspective: the neuroeconomics perspective, by combining the game theory experimental paradigm, parametric learning models, …

The responses of subtropical nearshore fishes to climate change
… presence of a predator will influence habitat choice under forecasted conditions. Climate change research on marine organisms has primarily focused on species that inhabit the open ocean or coral reef environments. Elevated temperature, salinity, and acidity (reduced pH) have all been shown to …
