Imparting Functionality to Macromolecules for Selective Stimulus Response
Polymeric materials with inherent stimulus response represent an ever-growing area of research. In particular, block copolymers demonstrate exciting properties owing to their enhanced mechanical strength and microphase separation. Incorporating functionality into block copolymers proves useful in …

The Role of Context in Stimulus-Response Binding and Retrieval
… stimuli (e.g., the target, the distractor) and responses are bound together into an episodic representation, called an event file or a stimulus-response (S-R) episode, which can be retrieved upon feature repetition. As compared with the target and the distractor, the context (i.e., an additional …

Comparison of Four Stimulus-Response Modalities in Paired-Associate Learning With Down's Syndrome Children
… investigate the relative effectiveness of four stimulus-response modalities (visual-motor, visual-vocal, auditory-motor, and auditory-vocal) in the learning of paired-associates by children diagnosed as having Down's Syndrome. These mentally retarded children have been found to perform better in …

Mechanics of Stimulus & Response Generalization in Signal Detection & Psychophysics: Adaptation of Static Theory to Dynamic Performance.
… stimuli and their biases towards reporting one stimulus more frequently than others. Choice theories assume that these performance measures are determined by generalization of reinforcement along both stimulus and response dimensions. Historically the majority of research has addressed …

THE EFFECT OF ORIENTATION-NEUTRAL CURSORS ON MOVEMENT TIME, POSITIONING PERFORMANCE, AND STIMULUS-RESPONSE (S-R) COMPATIBILITY
… on movement time, positioning performance, and stimulus-response compatibility, six experiments were designed. In these experiments, six orientation-neutral cursors were compared against each other as well as against four directional cursors. Twelve participants with advanced computer skills …

The effect of social media marketing on brand awareness, engagement, and customer value in South Africa : a stimulus-response perspective
… and brand awareness. This was done using the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory which mediates (organism) the relationship between the levers that businesses use (stimulus) and the resultant engagement and awareness of customers. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed in the …

Proportional slowing in old adults is modulated by episodic memory demands : an investigation of age-related slowing using compatible and arbitrary stimulus-response mappings
Das dominante Datenmuster im Bereich des kognitiven Alterns ist der Alters-x-Komplexitätseffekt. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht, ob das Muster statt durch einen üblicherweise postulierten unspezifischen durch einen spezifischen Mechanismus erklärt werden kann: die mit dem Alter abnehmende …

Effects of Reinforcement History on Stimulus Control Relations
Ray (1969) conducted an experiment on multiple stimulus-response relations and selective attention. Ray's (1969) results suggested that stimulus-response relations function as behavioral units. McIlvane and Dube (1996) indicated that if stimulus-response relations are behavioral units the effects …

The influence of the trait-like tendency to rely on declarative- or procedural- like memory systems on the development of habits and compulsive behaviours in the rat
… place or a procedural-like, egocentric response spatial learning strategy, a “direct opposition” probe can reveal which strategy any individual relies on to solve the task. The distinction among declarative and procedural memory parallels, but is not identical to, the distinction among …

Chester Holcombe: The Christian Gentleman in Victorian America.
… industrial state. Robert Wiebe called the social response to this transition a search for order. The difficulty in applying this concept to historical interpretation is that the connection between the flow of history and the influence of private human motivations can be easily reduced to …

Development of and proposed applications for tetrodes in functional mapping of rodent sensorimotor striatum
… changes in correlation with learning of three stimulus-response tasks relative to three control tasks with similar sensory, motor and motivational aspects but different learning and memory requirements, and to localize task-responsive units with respect to striosomes and body part areas …

Habit Formation in a Rodent Model of Alcoholism: Genetic Susceptibility, Alcohol-Specific Effects, and Pharmacological Manipulation
… process involving a shift from response-outcome as the leading driving force underlying action to a stimulus-response mechanistic process. It is hypothesized that a transition from goal-directed behavior to habitual behavior is driven by a transition of the bulk of cognitive load …

Uso de traçadores na modelagem de unidades de aeração e decantação em estação de tratamento de esgotos
… of real systems have been performed using the stimulus response technique. A Dirac's Delta stimulus was introduced at the inlet of two aeration tanks and a secondary sedimentation basin of a conventional activated sludge sewage treatment plant. Amidorhodamine G Extra and Bromine-82 were used as …

The Contribution of Planning-related Motor Processes to Mental Practice and Imitation Learning

Mental Rotation: Can Familiarity Alleviate the Effects of Complex Backgrounds?
… of complex backgrounds on mental rotation. Stimulus familiarity and background familiarity were manipulated. It systematically explored how familiarizing participants to objects and complex backgrounds affects their performance on a mental rotation task involving complex backgrounds. This …
