Anticipatory Behavioral Control
2003This contribution introduces the psychological learning framework of anticipatory behavioral control (ABC). Departing from the premise that almost all behavior of humans and higher animals is goal oriented, the framework proposes that (1) a voluntary action is preceded by a representation of the to-be-attained effect(s), (2) learning of such effect ...

Brains and speciation: Control of behavior
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2021As organisms invade new ecological niches, new species are formed. Simultaneously, behavioral repertoires diverge to adapt to new environments and reproductive partners. Such behavioral modifications require changes in underlying neural circuitry and thus speciation events provide a unique advantage for studying brain evolution: allowing for direct ...

Behavior is Quantifiable, Predictable, and Controllable
2020 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Life Sciences and Technologies (LifeTech), 2020Human behavior often is considered by engineers as something unpredictable. However, it is becoming inevitable for humans and machines to exist in the same space. Thus, engineers today must take human behavior into account when designing and operating machines.

Behavioral control of breathing in the cat
Brain Research, 1986Respiration depends upon brainstem neuronal circuits that produce the respiratory rhythm and relay it, via the ventrolateral columns, to motor neurons in the spinal cord. This brainstem system produces respiration automatically, i.e. without conscious effort, and is responsive to chemical and mechanical stimuli that signal imbalances in respiratory ...

The Psychological Record, 2014
The present experiment demonstrated a procedure analyzing the behavior of controllers by measuring undergraduates’ responses that produced consequences to other undergraduates. One member of each pair of 42 undergraduates, referred to as a learner, was asked to earn points exchangeable for money and told that touching a square shown on the screen of ...

Brain Stimulation and Control of Behavior
Psychological Reports, 1965Current longitudinal studies on rats, hamsters, and guinea pigs suggest that intracranial stimulation can be used to train animals to discriminate, fight, and vocalize. Because of the unique reinforcing properties of ICS, organisms not readily reinforced by conventional methods can be trained.

A Controllability Test for Behavior Systems
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1995Abstract In this paper we derive a new controllability rank test for general first-order representations. The criterion generalizes the well-known controllability rank test for linear input-state systems as well as a controllability rank test by Mertzios et al . for descriptor systems.

THE CONTROLLABILITY TEST FOR BEHAVIORS REVISITED
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2005Let B = {w 2 Lloc 1 (R,Rq) | R( d/dt )w = 0}. It is well-know that B is controllable if and only if R(λ) has the same rank for all complex λ. We want to re-examen the proof of this fundamental result. Denote by B1 the behavior B intersected with set of smooth functions.

Price Controls and the Behavior of the Firm
International Economic Review, 1980This paper analyzes the impact of price controls upon the output and efficiency of the competitive firm when quality is a variable. It has long been recognized that price controls will induce firms to make adjustments along unregulated qualitative margins. The full consequences of this adjustment, however, have not been formally analyzed.
