Analysis of behavioral indicators as a measure of satiation.
… through the use of the behavioral indicators of satiation procedure. A discrepancy was noted in the literature regarding the parameter needed to determine when there is an abative effect, which led to the development of this study. After conducting a paired stimulus preference assessment, a …

NON-STATIONARY MULTIARMED BANDITS FOR SATIATION AND SEASONALITY PHENOMENA IN MUSIC RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS
… preferences, characterized by phenomena like satiation. Our goal is to study these phenomena in a sequential learning setting characterized by partial feedback, adopting multiarmed bandits as the approach to tackle this problem. We first introduce a novel model with finitely many arms, which …

Within-session session changes in responding as a function of habituation vs. satiation.
… of a reinforcing stimulus as a product of satiation. Other evidence suggests that these decreases may often be due to habituation to the sensory properties of the reinforcing stimulus. The investigation reported here sought to determine whether decreases in operant responding by 3 adults …

Using a Token System to Increase Compliance and Avoid Satiation during Reinforcer Preference Assessments
<p>Preference assessments are commonly administered to identify potential reinforcers for use in behavioral interventions. This study examined the effectiveness of a token intervention for increasing compliance during paired-stimulus preference assessments. Three male preschool children with …

Smooth Muscle-Specific Removal of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Results in Increased Vagal Afferent Innervation to the Intestine and Increased Satiation in Mice
… stretch and tension to regulate GI reflexes and satiation. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is expressed in the smooth muscle of developing GI organs when vagal afferents from the nodose ganglion begin to innervate the GI tract. Therefore, it was hypothesized BDNF is necessary for …

Gut throughput rate and satiation of the invasive Lionfish (Pterois volitans) and its potential impact on an endemic, endangered Labrid fish Halichoeres socialis
… of three prey fish completely? To test lionfish satiation, the subjects were fed as many Pseudohemiculter dispar (a commercially available surrogate) as they could eat within a fifteen-minute window. During the digestion rate experiment, lionfish were fed three similarly sized P. dispar and …

Essays on Consumer Behavior and Demand Analysis
… behavior may be consistent with consumers? brand satiation. As a result, the consumers may benefit more from a market with more variety. We provide a structural model of the satiation behavior and use the model to demonstrate the model prediction as well as the welfare effect. The second market is …

Effect of predators on population dynamics of green peach aphid on flue-cured tobacco in Virginia
… show a response when GPA density was above the satiation point. Although CLB were able to reduce GPA population growth, they were not able to maintain GPA populations below the economic injury level. Two factors probably limited the success of CLB to control GPA populations on flue-cured …

The Enduring Outcomes of Stress During Neurodevelopment Dynamically Impact Food Reward Responsiveness and Valuation: A Meta-Analysis of Pre-Clinical Evidence
… preference and sucrose reactivity tests), reward satiation (i.e., food intake paradigms), and effort (i.e., progressive ratio tests for food reward). This search yielded 2234 studies, 71 of which met inclusion criterion. The meta-analysis suggested the effects of ELS vary by the reward-related …

A Test of Future Planning Ability in the Rat
… this choice, an animal successfully anticipating satiation to the upcoming flavour would be expected to consume proportionally more of the alternative (incongruous) flavour, in order to maintain the pleasantness of the anticipated flavour. However the results were inconclusive: there was no …

Neurobehavioral Mechanisms Contributing To Alterations In Food Intake Driven By Caudal Hindbrain Acting Signals
… in addition to amplifying the effects of GI satiation signals, OT reduced aspects of appetitive control including food motivation and food seeking when applied ICV but also to the NTS and to the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA). The studies presented in chapter 2 investigated the …

Oxytocin as a pharmacological tool to curb overeating: Exploring synergy with opioid receptor blockade

Understanding the Mechanisms that Determine Feed Conversion Ratio in Chinook Salmon – Physiological and Behavioural Aspects
… to improve FCR. Feeding Chinook salmon to satiation increases overeating and spitting, reducing feed efficiency. Controlling feed intake, whether through selection for individuals that consume smaller meals or feeding a ration slightly below satiation, could improve farm FCR.

Maintaining behavior in a child with autism using a previously neutral stimulus, a remote control tactile stimulus, as the consequence
… (ABA) therapy for children with autism, such as satiation and suitability of reinforcers for specific environments. A series of reversals evaluated the effects of a conditioning procedure involving pairing a neutral stimulus, the remote control stimulus (RCT), with an identified reinforcer. Phase …

Oystercatchers and cockles : a predatory-prey study

Analysis of the functional responses of other birds feeding on one prey species showed that in each case the behaviour also conformed with a type II distribution yet neither handling time nor satiation appeared …

The Behavioral Effects of Temporary Inactivation of the Lateral Habenula on Free Feeding
