The Near Miss in Simulated Slot Machine Play: The Role of Conditioned Reinforcement
The near miss effect in slot machine gambling is generally understood as two out of three winning reel symbols aligning horizontally at the payline, with the third winning symbol appearing just above or below the payline. Previous slot machine research suggests the presentation of a near miss …

Behavioral and Psychophysiological Effects of Near-Miss Outcomes in a Game of War
… as leading to the misidentification of wins is near-misses. Near-misses occur when the outcome of an event closely resembles a winning outcome, even though it is a loss. The current study intended to further investigate the effects of near-misses relative to wins and losses on player’s …

The prevalence of twice exceptional students in the GAT Academic programs: the near miss phenomena
Twice exceptional (TE) students often experience barriers to their participation in gifted academic programs that contribute to their marginalised status amongst the school gifted population. The estimated prevalence of TE students in gifted programs worldwide varies according to the location, …

Unveiling Roadway Network Safety: Application of Statistical Physics to Crowdsourced Velocity Data
… the internal structure enables the uncovering of near-miss incident risks in congested traffic flow—risks positively correlated with collision risks derived from historic accident records. By integrating the complex dynamics of traffic flow, the near-miss risk is ascertained from the crowdsourced …
